Someone should remix this with Flight of The Valkyries and an orange Pinto wagon falling out of the sky.

Or maybe the dukes of hazard theme with crashing police cars...

I'm really not complaining here I swear, but I love how many videos I see and think "no one at VS will like that" and then they end up here with numerous votes.

i liked the second jump with all the cows watching and cheering at the end. the first jump's audience of humans didnt seem as excited.

and yeah, probably kilometers, not miles.

Yes, this is fake. They used footage from a Grand Turismo type game or something. (They researched it on AOTS the other day.) You can tell by looking frame by frame the shadow jumps ahead of the car while mid-air.

Oh come on, that shadow looks a grade terrible.

I'm going to say I 'think' this is fake indeed. (see, I don't state it as fact as others have on videos in the past, I state it as my opinion... people who state 'FAKE, oh look at that, it's FAKE' without really providing proof and stating it as fact are really annoying)

i don't know about the speed it was taken at, but you guys really think this is fake? i mean cmon, what reason would there be to fake it? rally cars jump like that all the time. do you guys watch wrc at all?

as for the shadow, the curvature in the road is probably what causes the shadow to appear as if it's jumping ahead of the car. the car itself (almost looks like an evo, but i can't tell for sure) reacts correctly it seems. *shrug* i dunno... i guess i just give everything too much credit.

This is absolutely ordinary for WRC cars and happens all the time. I was at one time infatuated with WRC, Subaru in particular. As for the make of the car, the blue and yellow along with the bulging wheel wells seems to indicate a Subaru. That is simply an educated guess. It might be a lower class, but I'm not sure if the lower level WRC drivers would be daring enough to take a jump at such speeds.

For comparison: (different livery, same idea)

So fake. The little pretty lens flare on the rear window cries "I'm CGI - how you like me now mofos?" or something like that.

i'm hoping everyone who says this is fake is just being sarcastic or joking... it's hard to tell these days.

And apparently it IS at 136MPH.. or 220KPH. More info about this jump here:

Having examined the presented evidence, I'm throwing my vote to the authentic camp.

It's a pretty scary age we live in where we have arguments over the authenticity of video footage that seems clear and real.

A possible explanation for the shadow appearing to jump ahead of the car as it reaches the bottom of the hill could be the fact the the slope of the ground changing gives us that illusion from the angle the cameraman recording from.

Wow you guys are really living up to the internet "fake!" meme for something that looks completely reasonable.

I'm not saying you can't be skeptical. But you're not being skeptical, you're being extremely paranoid.

I mean, even if you start with the assumption that everything you see is fake, can't you at least be skeptical that someone might have slipped something real in there?

Here's a selection of other cars navigating the same stretch of road. Seems like they forgot to write "caution over crest" into their pacenotes.

I would just like to go on record as saying a lens flare is not indicative of falshood, rather poor videography and lack of proper filtering. If lens flares never happened IRL, they wouldn't be in games.

As for the car being able to make the jump... http://www.videosift.com/video/Rally-Car-Makes-171-Foot-Jump

the position of the shadow is consistent with the curvature of the ground, the trajectory of the car, and assuming the sun is almost directly overhead

Speaking as someone with 10+ years of experience in CGI it looks real to me. The "jump" that some people see does indeed appear to be a bump in the road causing the shadow to move oddly. Also if people put the work into creating that kind of a fake there would be no reason for the shadow to "jump" in that way. So what you're seeing is actually an indication that it's real.

See, I'm glad I said I 'thought' it was fake, as it is indeed real.

So all those who stated as fact that it was cg... time to be eating those words.

I would also add that you can see the visible effects of the trailing high/low pressure created by the car: grass, hair, etc; moving away/towards the car's path.

The editing or rendering would be fairly obvious.

I guess it could be real...just doesn't look it to me. Look at the other videos of the other cars and look at the cars shadow. For the other cars the shadow looks natural...the shadow changes size as the car goes up and back down again. The shadow is defused around the edges in the other clips. In this clip the shadow looks like a solid black shape...very different then what you see in the other videos.
