really? how do you calculate the perfect angle and where to turn in?

I have tried it on a makeshift with fluffy pillows to represent the pumps, but I am scared to do it at the real pumps.

lol...

Well, they did it in two or more takes, from two different angles. If you look at the final approach shot from the side the angle of approach is different from the where they end the first clip when they are coming across the pumps. Make sense?

I could be wrong but the I dont think its possible to do it the way that they make it look like its done. But you could still do it the way they show it in the last part of the clip. Do a you tube search, they show several videos of drivers essentially doing what they show in the first part of the clip with the 3 simultaneous BMW's, but with a new or old MINI.
