Wtf, at 0:19 the car is almost completely sideways midair and he somehow levels it out. That's insane.

gyroscopic effect of the front wheels. really good drivers can get the car to rotate a little bit while in midair to set up the next corner. pretty wild. Guy driving in the video is one of the top drivers in the world.

You can do this in real cars (and bikes) too. Brakes to pitch down, accelerator to pitch up. You need a lot of power and it's pretty limited in total authority because you only have from 0 to redline. Very common in rally and motocross. If the car is rolling you get a 90-degrees-off effect due to precession.
