Tallmadge, Ohio – Missing your exit in a roundabout is usually just an awkward moment. But what if you kept driving… for 24 hours straight? That’s exactly what the creators behind the Airborne Entertainment YouTube channel decided to do, turning one local roundabout into the stage for one of the strangest — and funniest — automotive challenges ever attempted.
The Challenge
- Start Time: 8:41 a.m.
- Car: Modified Dodge Charger (formerly a fire engine, now marked with “certified test vehicle” decals)
- Goal: Complete as many laps as possible in 24 hours without breaking down, being stopped by police, or losing their sanity.
By the end of the challenge, the team had achieved:
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Laps | 1,809 |
| Distance Driven | 488.9 km |
| Police Encounters | Zero |
| Tire Changes | One (took 7 minutes) |
| Driver Swaps | Yes (not Guinness-eligible) |
“Top Gear”-Style Rules
To keep things interesting, the YouTubers added their own twist:
- Every 200 laps: draw a random mission.
- Missions included:
- Running one lap on foot (yes, it counted!)
- Driving a full lap in reverse
- Other unpredictable antics.
The Wildest Moments 🤯
- Refueling on the Move: Gas was poured in through the rear window via an improvised jerrycan — while the car was still circling the roundabout.
- Windshield Washer Madness: They replaced the washer fluid with sour milk. The smell? Unbearable. The usefulness? None. The entertainment? Priceless.
Why They Did It
This wasn’t about setting an official record or landing in the Guinness World Records. The mission was simple:
👉 Have fun.
👉 Entertain viewers.
👉 Create unforgettable content.
And on that front, the Airborne Entertainment crew succeeded brilliantly.
The Tallmadge roundabout may never be the same again, and anyone who watches the footage will likely never look at a roundabout — or a bottle of milk — the same way again.
As one viewer might ask: “Why?”
The answer: Because it’s fun. 🎥
