The Goodwood Festival of Speed is typically known for showcasing a barrage of classic cars, but at this year's event, Nissan decided to change things up a bit and attempted to break a Guinness World Record with some help from the Juke NISMO RS. The incredible two-wheeled stunt was performed by stunt driver Terry Grant, who shocked the crowd with his unique driving skills and secured a new world record for Nissan.
Driving on two wheels is a daring feat that most would never attempt with a standard sedan never mind a small crossover. However, this is exactly what Grant did at this year's Goodwood Festival in order to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest Goodwood mile on two wheels. Back in 2011, Grant originally set the record (2 minutes 55 seconds) using a Juke, and for 2015, he wanted to break his former time. With some assistance from the Juke NISMO RS, the stunt driver traveled up the Goodwood hill again this year and demolished his previous record the first attempt, clocking in at 2 minutes 10 seconds.
This is the second Nissan has set a Guinness World Record in the past couple of months. The automaker also recently created the world's largest glow-in-the-dark painting using the all-electric Nissan LEAF.
