Car Jumps and Rolls – level 3

Car Jumps and Rolls

11-08-2021 15:00

Stunt driver Terry Grant received his 21st Guinness World Record title after carrying out a massive 15.37-metre-long jump and a 270-degree roll.

He attempted the finely-tuned barrel roll in a Jaguar E-PACE after a month of testing and analysis. The run-up needed to be 160 metres long for the car to hit the air at the precise speed to roll. Grant experienced a G-force of 5.5 during the corkscrew twist.

Difficult words: stunt driver (a driver who does dangerous tricks), attempt (try).
