What that guy did could have well be done with a monkey. Just push the button, and press the gas... nothing to shift... Like an old woman in an auto...

If the tunnel had rounded walls as they pretend it did, it's certainly possible. The rotational inertia will push the car's wheels to the walls. There are attractions like this....

But you have to either go really fast to do it in the tunnel or turn sharply.

Oh I know it's possible but not just any car can do it. The bigger the diameter the faster you're going to have to go. And that car was bookin' it.
