How... did they shut down the Bay Bridge, SOMA, the financial district, and everywhere else for this?

MikeyV · 07-09-2012, 02:53 PM

Pity none of this skill was worth a damn when he had a go in the WRC, he was next to useless.

koreez88 · 07-09-2012, 08:59 PM

How did I miss this, and I live there... Apparently this was shot on May 12th.

Golden3ye · 07-09-2012, 09:17 PM

This was amazing, I appreciate this just as much for the production work in making the movie as I do for the driving

kyleb350 · 07-09-2012, 10:06 PM

Damn, that car held up to the abuse pretty well.

Tranic335i · 07-09-2012, 11:10 PM

How the hell they shutdown the bridge. Very good production indeed

wisesoul · 07-09-2012, 11:35 PM

People NEED that bridge lol. I wonder how much he backed up traffic on the Bay Bridge. But damn, that was awesome. Now this is big budget holy sheeeiiiit

it's a good production for sure but that's all i see it as. like what has been said already, this in no way translates to his skill as a rally driver. he's first and foremost a stunt driver

I wouldn't discard him as a driver because of wrc, those are the single most talented drivers in the world. And until you can do everything he can I wouldn't condescend him like that either.

I'm not saying I can do anything he can, just that the dick riders come out in full force whenever a new gymkhana video is released and all I see on fb and stuff is people hailing him as the greatest man ever behind the wheel of a car. As an avid WRC fan, it gets annoying to say the very least.

If you consider them as people then you aren't a person either. I don't care about the ignorant especially on U2B and FB.

There are just many different things, with a ball you can eitehr be a good soccer player or a good komball freestyler. Not possible to say one is better than the other. And the same about WRC, the best driver would be last in F1 and vice-versa.

Sebastian Loeb tested a Red Bull RB4 in 2008 at Circuit de Catalunya, he was very fast, having never sat in an F1 car before he set the 8th fastest time, I'm sure given more time behind the wheel he would be a very good, maybe even F1 champion good. Senna was also a handy rally driver and competed in several rally's for Ford, Alain Prost has won the Andros Trophy several times.
