Wall of Death in a Car

Looks to be too small a radius to gain enough speed for the centrifugal force needed re the weight of the car, of course that's just my theory. :facepalm:

Now I've watched the vid I know just how wrong I am.
 
I went to Nottingham goose fair when I was when I was about 18 :p
And the wall of death had to be closed down because of a big accident :(
The ride didn't open any more that weekend ............:)

Isn't the speed the same irrespective of the weight of the car/bike?
Both fall to Earth at the same rate irrespective of weight. It's the speed that keeps them up on the wall.
In theory, could do it with @Grumpy's truck. He might find it difficult to explain though when he gets back to base.=))
 
Not as difficult as it looks I believe! Just wouldn't want the engine failing either in the car or on the bike. JIM
 
I wouldn't want to stand in the centre of the pit while that car is whizzing round. There's not much chance you'd escape if anything went wrong
