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?

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
