A car driving 70mph?

With the rotation = 2g

Against = 0g

Probably the practical limitation there would be that the car’s grip would reduce as it sped up running against the rotation, so it might be hard to actually get going that fast.

Assuming there was some kind of track or other setup that allowed the vehicle to get to 70 safely, yes, the person would experience weightlessness and basically fly.
