I’d do it. Probably only once though. Wonder what speed it would take?

Even if you fell from the top, it's still a smother ride than what it currently is.

Well let's see,

7/8 mile of road vs speed of said vehicle minus traction multiplied buy the inverse of COD, divided by the gross weight of the vehicle
then take into account pliability of said roadway (you do see the HOTWHEELS tracks move as the cars fly around)
the general direction of the wind at any given moment
how much fuel is in the car
weight of occupants including cargo to shift COG
then are the headlights on or off
is the windshield washer tank full, empty or in-between.

Too many variables to say

But what I can say...

Too fast you will blast straight through
Too slow and you will not make it



HOLD MY BEER!!!

Kids these days have it easy with their Hot Wheels tracks. Those of us old enough to have been Beta testers had to learn just where to place a finger and how much force to exert in order to keep that loop circular in order to have a prayer for the car to actually make it around. Now, a piece of plastic takes care of that.

Made me look this up as I remember it being done.
Fifth Gear did this stunt on a 40 foot loop with some little car and the speed was 36 mph, guy had to withstand 6G's.
