Nah, if anything else I'm giving him props... if you can find the slow motion version you'll really be in awe of the guy's driving skills.

This video is impressive, but it's even more impressive when you see just how close he is to wrecking.

I posted this about a week ago, and that was a repost! I think i even had the same title as you.

I thought i read that this car basically broke down a few miles down the road as the jump was just too much for the car, also the driver and co driver were in a lot of pain for the next couple of days from that jump.

I could imagine!! That was some major shock to the car when he landed!

This is what Jim Clark had to say after the jump..... "The car went on the limiter on the crest and thats 220 KPH! When we landed we were both winded and the shockers burst thats what caused the fire, the boot and rear quarters are bent down about 6 inches Never again i am in so much pain today. Apparently the record lenght jump set on a rally is 57 metre`s we must of been close to that? .... and he later added this: “It was one small step for mankind” They say no “pain no gain” and this is true cos i am going to gain a canny bill for the repairs. The bottom line is we are both going to recover and thats all that matters Thumbs Up!! On a lighter note; when i was in A+E the doctor came in and asked what had happened. I explained it went like this; I was doing 220KPH down the road, he said what type of road, i said single track back road.Then i took off on a jump and flew 60 metres and landed heavily… He said “your in te wrong hospital mate the mental hospital is 5 miles up the road”
