Thruster Tesla Roadster: Free Playable Demo (Windows)
Here it is: the thruster Roadster from the video, as a game you can play.
You start in front of the half-loop ramp. Floor it, stick to the ceiling upside down on thruster suction, flip upright in mid-air, then take on the obstacle course that loops around the ramp. Beat my lap of 0:50.47 and post your time in the comments.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Download the zip below and extract it anywhere.
2. Run ThrustRoadster.exe.
3. If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. The game isn't code-signed; that's all the warning means.
The game starts full screen at your monitor's resolution. Press Esc (or Start on a gamepad) for the pause menu: resume, restart at the ramp, or quit.
CONTROLS
W / S: drive, brake and reverse
A / D: steer (yaw in the air)
SPACE: lift thrusters
SHIFT: boost
Q / E: barrel roll in the air
F: flip upright with the thrusters
G: jump to the obstacle course start
R: back to the last checkpoint

C: camera
T: auto demo (the stunt, then autopilot laps; T again to take over)
ESC: pause menu
Gamepad: RT / LT drive, A lift, RB boost, Start pause
TIPS
Barrel roll over the parked cars and through the roll ring: each one takes 1 second off your lap.
The air tank refills on the ground, so land between the big jumps.
