Attempt at the world record distance auto jump
 

Pretty knarly, don't know what went wrong. Modern day safety equipment is pretty dam sweet in my opinion

Thanks for posting, I had not seen this. Agreed on the safety equipment!

Sounded like he lifted and then got back on it.

Is this considered successful & beat the record? Or have to land on wheels to be successful? What is/was record before this? Was it the jump at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway before the Indy 500 a few years ago?

Holy Snikeys!

Good question, i think Pestrana has it in the Suby, Indiana? not sure...

The car held up well. WHERE was his window net and or arm restarints?? dumbass//Cool video Thanks for posting

That's my question too. You know he's a rally car driver and all...but if you're not racing in an event and attempting something of such magnitude, why isn't he wearing a full face helmet? and a Hans device? Either way, dude has some balls and is lucky!

I am sure he was thinking "what could possibly go wrong" lol

I can't watch the one on Yahoo.

Here is a 12 minute mini documentary on the jump.
