In a blend of precise speed, rogue physics and downright insanity, stunt drivers Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy have done what plastic track-obsessed kids have dreamed of for years: the Double Dare Loop.
At this past weekend's X Games in Los Angeles, California, the two drivers simultaneously traversed a pair of 66-foot-tall loops at an exact speed of 52 MPH, managing to pull 7 Gs as they ran up and over the two life-sized tracks.
After several practice runs last week, the safety nets were removed as the throngs of X-Games spectators watched the dynamic duo scale the track, complete the loops and perform an egregious jump at the end.
Although both drivers survived the loop-de-loop, the modified car driven by Tracy suffered a massive suspension failure after the final jump, with the left-rear wheel slamming to the ground as the spring and damper liberated themselves from inside the wheel well.
InsideLine has a few shots of the carnage, and you can check out the stunt in the video below.
