Juke breaks record at Goodwood

The Nissan Juke SUV has taken an unlikely record at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, covering the event's famous 1.2 mile course in 2 minutes 55 seconds entirely on two wheels.

Piloted by stunt driver Terry Grant, the difficult undertaking was repeated no fewer than five times, sometimes with passengers aboard. The creative driving was instigated by a small ramp, the course then followed corners and all at speeds high enough to ensure the title is held for a good many years to come.

"Driving on two wheels is like driving with one hand over your left eye and another hand obscuring half the right - from where I was, tucked down on the right of the car, all I could see was the bonnet of the car and a bit of sky. I couldn't see where the wall was at all," confessed Grant.
"It was really hairy... bloody hard work."

The stunt captured the imagination of the huge crowds who were clapping and cheering all the way up the hill, while even hard-bitten journalists watching the run on monitors in the event's media centre were willing Grant on.
