Pretty neat!
Sounds like they were hitting a limiter a lot, I guess that was to make sure they didn't disappear into the distance!
Wonder if a seven would manage that? 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

your link doesnt link to anything but the sky homepage, so i presume it was on the home page
I guess your on about the hot wheels loop thing at this years x games, I watched it live on ESPN America (on sky). I love the X Games, its like the
olympics with addons allowed (bmx, cars, motox, skateboards etc..)
they introduced rally cross a few years ago, its good

Try scrolling down a little!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Probably locking the speed to the exact rate for the loop, probably controlled by the rev limiter you can hear. If they go too fast, the suspension
will bottom out, too slow, they will fall out of the loop. 5th Gear did it a couple of years ago, went too fast anf broke the front of their car!

sounds to me like the rev limiter is set to limit the speed of the car so they make it round the loop and over the jump perfectly every time.

And on this occasion, he was going too slow... 
Missed jump
I can't believe that they didn't have fire marshals near the jump!
