They weren't gonna risk their bread & butter doing the donuts so they brought in Coulthard in case the car goes off the edge at least he would have his chin to cushion the fall

[@Hisham23633]

it was at that moment when david screamed in his heart "lif's good!!" lool

[@dtrides]

It's like Nascar, just on a smaller track! :)

En ese mismo helipuerto hicieron tropos con el f1 rb9 en 2013, que grandes los de RED BULL

[@elastronaute1198]

how did they get the car up there?

[@SkillzorZ021]

If he were to fall off the roof, he would be going 231km/h or 64.16m/s at impact. Its pretty simple physics, Velocity(final)^2=Velocity(initial)^2+2xAccelerationxDistance, or V.final^2=0^2+2×9.8×210, which gives 4116, but you have to take the square root so it becomes 64.156 then times by 3.6 to change to km/h giving 230.96. Perfectly survivable by todays standards I would say, though that doesnt factor that the ground wont absorb much of the energy when it hits. Gotta love physics!

[@Skozerny]

You also completely ignored air resistance.

here from the more sidemen video

[@gc3k]

id try that, but id be too sacred of a steering or wheel accident and spinning off the platform, hurtling to my death, but to each his own

[@raheelahmd]

whats the use of this..... ?

[@carbimazolesans9010]

Dingle was here

[@SethMcFartlane]

I bet insurance made them stick some kind of parachute device on the car. It's so light it's not improbable it could work.

[@cboemannc]

fun but not scary at all. It's rather obvious the car has been bolted to the deck at the inside of the left front wheel. Look how perfect it circles around that point.

[@th3b0untyhunter]

LOL @ bolted down you clearly dont understand how donuts work

[@elastronaute1198]

you can't bolt a car down you muppet

[@yasinewarab7921]

wow offff

[@biotronicdeejay1591]

Its meant to be 'pointless'. Its a doughnut!!

I hate DC and his jaw. Red bull can do one as well, but this is about as cool as it gets!! Pple hating on here saying whats the point? For shits and giggles! and it is fucking cool!

[@101nemesis]

Going to the moon was the 1st step that showed man was expanding his horizon and understanding beyond Earth. Given how there are billions of planets out there, it was the very 1st step by humans. Its akin to a new born baby crawling for the first time. I'm sorry but comparing this thing to that important event was just stupid.

[@1mangostick]

Its actually not that hard to do. Nothing is bolted down, he didn't end up where he started on the pad. A correct donut should look just like that. Subaru's will do perfect donuts all day and they're awd.. any rwd car with a good limited slip differential, enough power or lack of traction will do the same all day long.

[@Chardy36]

Why does everything need a use? Can't we just do things to say "hey, we did that". What was the use of going to the moon?

[@BlazinSprite]

Fun?

[@user-zb3ht5ib7k]

Red bull

[@Valentine350z]

Not pointless. Its a marketing move for Dubai.

[@MuhammedTheProhit]

you didn't just ask.. ''What was the use of going to the moon?'' eh?! :D you want a scientific or a political answer with that? heh

[@phanigeddada]

I thought he would jump from helipad to Arabian sea. Great disappointment....

[@harry4645]

thats called horsepower.. u wont get it if u never got some with more then a bit power..

pshhh

[@JeffLombardo]

I can tell by your negative attitude that you've probably done better, Martin.

[@martinrpg1]

Pointless and not really that impressive!

[@rhymeister]

This is so stupid!

[@obazas]

Lame

[@06cdh]

ridiculous, pointless and unimpressive exercise by an ex average F1 driver.
