The same way they can run side by side, inches apart from another car without touching at 180mph - they are very good at what they do.

Now, if they included the Lincoln Tunnel in the actual course layout, that would be awesome!

Why would they do that through the Lincoln Tunnel if they aren't using it in the race?

Two reasons, I can think:

1.) The Lincoln tunnel is a long, famous tunnel. And as anyone who loves cars knows a tunnel plus the sound of high power engines is orgasmic.

2.) The publicity!

I got the feeling that a lot of the sound was added post-production for coolness. As if it the sounds heard were not from the very moments of footage we saw.

did he really hit top speed in there? looked like it wasn't as fast as he could go in some parts, maybe it was the perspective making it look that way
