    I'll be impressed when I see one of them pulling a 12x6 cattle trailer.

    I saw the title and was sure it said F1 car hit that tunnel at 190mph and I thought it was a free event gone all wrong. I was wondering where the crash was. :o

    Pretty cool. But if there is one place I wouldn't want to be doing 190mph, it's a tunnel.

    How about 200mph in a Tunnel in a Skyline :P

    I've seen them playing songs with the engines before, it's pretty crazy how much control they have over them.

    We are the champions

    Ah Smokey Nagata, the mad bastard.*
    He does some other mental runs in the Top Secret Supra.

    Sounds like an angry dog barking. I suppose that would make sense too

    I enjoy watcbing this urban street stuff it is easier to appreciate the skill involved. Alas i could never see an event like thiz happening in dublin, not affer the draconian & expensive terms & conditions put on red bull by DCC + others for the F1 craic this summer.

    Pretty impressive video, but like Ken Block's Gymkhana videos, fairly well rehearsed!

    Reminds me, must watch some of those videos again....
