Because you need to see. And don't read the reader comments. Bunch o' fools with keyboards. Enjoy the vid. Marvel and whatnot.

Interesting, yet the lack of damage to the cars makes it boring.

I agree with one comment. Looks like a majikal study on fluid dynamics. It's incredible, I think!

Nice example of fluid motion. It really makes you think about just how complicated the math in those games must be, not to mention the sheer number of calculations per second...

I'd get TrackMania if it was free, but I don't want to buy it (I already have Gran Turismo 4 for racing simulation). What's that free racing simulation game called? I know someone posted about it before...

Anyways... I think <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 1355">this video</a> is fun to watch too. No CGI, either. Just a bunch of stunt drivers in cars. (They didn't have CGI that was even remotely close to realistic back in the mid eighties.

Hot damn, Bic. That's great!

Wow that video that bic posted was amazing. I wonder how many times they had to refilm it to make it that perfect. I no that other commercials that involve perfection, such as Cog, which was a Rube Goldberg machine made out of car parts, took 608 takes to perfect. It's amazing the length these people will go to entertain

Geeze, that commercial was awesome. Especially the dancing in paris part.

The one bic posted is awesome!

Bic's video is crazy awesome, those drivers pwn!
The first one is just way freaky to watch.

I started off thinking

'This isn't that great'

but by the end I was like

'Wow, would of been cool to be those people waiting for a train too have these cars zoom past!'
