Now this is what a double loop should look like.

The “Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare” is set to take place at this month’s Summer X-Games in Los Angeles. Drivers Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy will attempt to race through a 60-foot vertical loop modeled after the new Double Dare Snare Hot Wheels toy, in what would be the first time in history two cars mounted a vertical loop at once

Could be awesome... but I would guess this pushes the boundaries of whats safe for a stadium show...

lol @ the nets
 
Lol, You gota give them credit... With that small space that they had, they did really good, Im sure if they had more space they could pull this off...
 
its not one driver double loop .. its two drivers one loop each... If they can do two loops each (simultaneously) then they trump TG!

I understood it as both drivers following each other through both loops. Reading it again, I see you are right. :o Sorry TG, you still did better.

Why? The physics behind it is well understood and documented. If the drivers keep to the speeds as determined by the engineers, there shouldn't be any issues. The 7Gs might make life difficult for them, but they've been trained up to 10Gs, so it's not as though they don't know what to expect. Except for that it should be pretty straight-forward driving.
