The #jaguar #fpace has put on another dramatic display of dynamic precision and control. After setting the Guinness World Record for the world’s biggest loop-the-loop at its launch last year, the very same record-breaking #fpace and stunt driver Terry Grant have teamed up again for a thrilling drive at the #goodwoodfestivalofspeed.
This time Grant piloted Jaguar’s first family sports car up the famous Goodwood hill on two wheels. As if that was not enough, professional freestyle motorbike stunt rider Lee Bowers was on board to add even more jeopardy to proceedings.
Bowers is no stranger to two wheels and swapped his saddle for the luxurious leather interior of Jaguar’s first performance #crossover. As the #fpace two-wheeled up the demanding course, Bowers climbed out of the passenger window to stand on the side of the #jaguar and salute the crowd, before climbing back inside ahead of the finishing line.
When #jaguar gave me the opportunity to reunite with the #fpace used to break the world’s largest loop record, I couldn’t say no. Its light, stiff aluminium body and precise controls make it the perfect wheelie vehicle, and it was great to have Lee Bowers along for company – even if he did climb out halfway through our run!
TERRY GRANT LEGENDARY STUNT DRIVEREven for an expert of Grant’s calibre, the two-wheeled drive required hours of planning. Final preparations were completed at Santa Pod Raceway in Northamptonshire just days ahead of the live #event.
For the actual drive, spectators were left in no doubt about the identity of the #jaguar as #fpace was emblazoned on both the roof and underside of the vehicle.
