i mean wasn't the bridge going upwards?

aint that the ramp?
what if they were doing 160

I'll give you the ramp aspect, but you still need adequate speed to propel the car forward and not immediately go down due to the weight.

Even if you magically cleared the jump, now you gotta worry about cars underbody because you just lost 4 tires and probably can't control the car once you land. I would bet they'd veer off the bridge and go down either way lol

It was a low-horsepower car, the second you start going up the ramp your kinetic energy is being converted into potential energy, meaning you're very likely to slow down, a lot. Wind resistance and friction are very high at those speeds which mean that you'd have to have an insanely powerful car not to lose a lot of speed as the ramp-climbing sucked your energy away. Once you get to the top, you lose the power to accelerate, so the air resistance that comes from a big blocky car moving through the air is going to sink you fast. Even if you made it to the end of the ramp at a high rate of speed, you're not going to manage a parabolic leap, it's gonna get truncated. So unless the gap is very short, you're screwed.
