Wow, this is a real terrain vehicle. It goes so fast, amazing.
It isn't shallow water. Special tires and high speeds allow the the car to skip across the water. However, it is dumb how so many people are standing so close.
By Puck90a 1140570972 Reply Spam [+7] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat looked fun to drive, but yes, I don't think I'd want to get that close to someone driving it. It looked like that thing could get really out of control.
By Nick Roman 1151211200 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat's how people learn I guess. That could of easily been a disaster. This guy and everybody there will be back every year to do it again till some poor kid gets killed by the guy. All he'll be able to say is, " I couldn't stop, the steering didn't work, " Well no S**t nimrod your hydroplaning at speed in a race vehicle! I just hope no one gets hurt
So how deep would you say this is?
By picklearse 1140768062 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei've dipped it once, and i can say it's at least 7".
By no-hyphens 1142055239 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeimagine got hit by that car, it would be fun
By Epyon 1140591251 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif you go fast enough you can skip accross water on anything!! it is hydroplaning ...you can do it on atv's, three wheelers, snowmobiles and even dirtbikes ...and obviously these crazy trucks!! you just need to keep the revs high and the tires spinnin real fast.
By 54321 1141096840 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe tires are so big, it probably would not drown even if stoped on water, would just float :)

I SEEN IT B4 ON TOPGEAR IN THE UK BUT THEY DID IT ACROSS A 2MILE LONG LAKE
By beefhead 1150020809 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyes the water can be very deed and swallow the bogger, the speed muct be maintained or you will lose points and time, you can get right muddy doing this any time of the day.. The have events and when it started back in the late 60's it world be on TV sports shows. This one has rather small tires, normally they are a bit wider and most have deep rubber cleats that angle across the surface of the wheels. They are Very noisey too.
By drfox 1147749792 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removecall this aquaplanning, wouldn't want to stall tough,
By beemax 1145630186 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeu can that do that with a snow scooter to.ive seen it on the tv show top gear.
By hey! hey! 1145334209 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThey raced across a lake, you'd think they'd both sink but they got right across, fantastic
By MrAndy 1145832377 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeare used in a yearly cometition, i forget the name but they have to hydroplane go up a wall of dirt and other off roading events, they use nitrous too.
nice speed lol
By ok69k 1141436261 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThere is an actual 4x4 competition and the car has 800 horse power. Hydroplaning over water is one of the tests. There is another where the car has to go up a wall.
By p1ng 1140844582 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe people talkin are Norwegian, just like me :D
By AE87 1140812690 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhy they are standing so close! : D
(in answer to the other guys wondering...)
With a reasonable head start, you can end up skip across 2 miles worth of lake. Never lost one myself but I've seen guys come home without their snowmobile.
By bloodhound114 1140725844 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits not shallow water, its just big engine and special tyres. they used to be a land race in iceland and someone decided to take one on the water and see what would happen, it goes on the surface because the wheels are spinning fast (i don't understand the physics of it) now there's races on water in iceland aswell as on land. it's not fake though.
By KX36 1140724079 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeactually it's from motorworld (same bloke - jeremy clarkson)
I saw it a few days earlier on google video, search for iceland and motor world
Lots more crazy icelandic stuff like how to mount a tire on alloys in less than a minute, using lighter fluid!!!
yer... that doesn't mean it wasn't on topgear though... that's where i saw it.
this actual footage i doubt is from a propper TV show because it looks very amateurly recorded.
yes it was and they said how it was done,powerfull nos injected engine and the wheels hav scoops
By ra2 1140889797 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe water is quite shallow... u can see the small rocks coming out of the water at some places... besides, the tires help and also.. the aquaplaning effect...

By mau'dib 1140584541 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSome people can do this with high-powered snowmobiles as well.
that is shallow water
By paulie 1140558476 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOn Top Gear (a uk motor show) they raced across a lake so depth of water makes no difference. Its the tires and speed
By MrAndy 1145832563 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveF**k off!!!! the river only has 30cm deep!!!
