I think you’ll agree with us on this point: This is the slowest, most impressive run we’ve ever seen up the driveway at Goodwood. Stunt driver Terry Grant took a Nissan Juke NISMO RS and carefully tipped it onto two wheels using a ramp just past the start of the hill climb. And then it really became a sight to behold.
-Grant’s careful but sharp steering inputs seem incongruous given the car’s precarious situation as it weaves and saws its way uphill, but that’s how it’s done—and expertly enough to set a record for a four-wheeled vehicle going up the hill on two wheels. The previous record? Set by Grant, also in a Juke. He shaved 45 seconds off his previous best time on this run.
--UPDATE: Nissan just released onboard footage of the record:
--And here’s how Grant prepared for the attempt:
