For those that don't realize. They have transferred steering and power into the "trailer" turning the "trailer" into the actual car and the car into a trailer. That's why someone popped out of the trailer at the end that's where they were controlling it from, the guy in the back was doing nothing.

I knew it. With how fast they were going and not needing to do any of the snakey maneuvers to turn the trailer the right way, I knew there had to be someone in the trailer turning it. It also looked like the car was being pulled along.
