2012 USA GP - DC drives the circuit...... as it is now!
Discussion
that must have taken many many takes, not to mention spare parts / cars to do.
I'm surprised the car stood up to it at all as having competed at national level in rallying, i know what punishment even a relatively smooth gravel stage does to a car and suspension components etc.
Surely a F1 cars brakes, floor etc are all too close in terms of tolerances to work in that environment as didn't Vettel have a failure where a small stone got in between the wheel and caliper and quite quickly cut through the wheel?
Great video tho

They could have made numerous changes for the shoot.I'm surprised the car stood up to it at all as having competed at national level in rallying, i know what punishment even a relatively smooth gravel stage does to a car and suspension components etc.

Indeed, I'm sure that in some of the shots there seemed to be way more suspension movement than I would have expected in an F1 car.But kudos to RBR for their PR work - their videos do seem to be extremely well put together.

The track looks interesting. Lots of gradient changes.
I can imagine the cringing faces of RBR's engineers - you want to do WHAT with our car?!

RBR PR Man: "could you raise the ride height by 75mill please?"
Spanner: "Are you on drugs? WTF"
etc.
