I wonder if it will work? Oh yeah.. Fifth Gear did it 3 years ago and over 3.7m people have already watched that on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiZoVAZGgsw
They did a 'real' double loop on Top Gear.

'Too late 5.20pm' the Top Gear loop was 26ft. 'Sorry 5.13pm' the Fifth Gear one was 40ft high. The Hot Wheels one was 66ft.
And it had two real cars doing it at once.
Hence the world record.
Aren't records meant to be broken? Tough crowd.
Sorry guys, it doesn't matter how big it was - it's just the same old 'make a small thing big' idea thats been done a 1000 times.
