    world record

    Goodwood Hill Climb on two wheels.
    Yes that's all the way up including a 90 degree right turn, off-camber left into Molecombe, up past the flint wall, and into the top paddock.
    Then he did it again next day.

    As you can see it's covered in cameras, and it's going to feature in the TV programme coming up soon I'm sure.

    How in the hell?

    This is a sweet set, Paul. So how did he do it? Did he have a ramp at the beginning to get the car up on two wheels? And then, how does he balance it? Are there corners?

    Yes, a ramp to flick it up on two wheels, and then just skill.
    250 yards from the start line there is a 90 right, then a long curve left in front of Goodwood House, under the footbridge and then gentle right into a sharp off-camber left (where most crashes happen) and then under the trees long right past the flint wall (you do not want to hit that) and then right out from the trees up the long climb to the finish which isn't at the top of the hill ... slow down over the crest and then right into the top paddock for the celebrity interviews - still on two wheels until he stopped !

    Amazing driving
    nice shots
    is it really uphill? They'll got to be using locking diifferential so torque is not lost through the wheel up in the air

    Good point - I didn't even think of that.

    hey John - thanks !
    I didn't realise what you'd done until tonight - too busy catching up from Toronto, on the photos and on sleep.
