Corvette Zr1 V Super Cobra Attack Helo, Frightening End

[uk_vette]

I came across this while browsing.
It is the familiar Corvette ZR1, in a speed test with an AH-1 Super Cobra helicopter.
It follows the format that the car on the ground does a square circuit, turns around, and does the square circuit back again.

Mean while the Super Cobra is doing the same circuit, but 50 meters above the car.

It's not a case of who wins,,,,,,,,,,,,,, watch the end.

Gra.

That's not too good. Was the pilot okay?

[*Al*]

Whoa!! What happened to the pilots?

[Dakkon]

I am sure I read that this was filmimg for the next series of TopGear and both pilots survive.

Chinese Top Gear attempt to re-create British Top Gear's car vs helicopter race around a circuit, and the helicopter crashed quite badly.

Glad to read the pilot(s) were okay though.

I bet the pilot felt like a right spanner after that. Glad everyone was ok though.

Looks like great fun for the car driver. I thought the pilot would've been injured looking at the crash.

It looks like Topgear Korea, not TGUK ?

The pilot and Nav both walk away.

I am sure the nav really bh slapped the pilot after that one though.

Wing overs are fine with altitude, but really, 60 meter wing overs is not good,
The Pilot was out of the safety envelope on the first circuit, and you can see him sliding the chopper, but has enough altitude to get the chopper horizontal, and gain lift.

Unfortunately I can relate to the drivers reaction, the fun stops and the realisation of what's just happened takes a moment to sink in.
