Toyo Tires and professional rally car driver Guerlain Chicherit have announced plans to attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest car ramp jump. The attempt will be made on March 16th using the Monster Energy / Toyo Tires MINI Countryman rally car. If everything goes according to plan, Chicherit will jump 360 feet (110 meters) which will beat the previous record of 332 feet (101.19 meters) that was set by Tanner Foust back in 2011. According to Amy Coleman, senior director of marketing for Toyo Tire U.S.A., “Our tires have won championships in the desert and on the track. We are thrilled to now take them to the snow and support Guerlain in his Guinness World Records title attempt to complete the world’s longest car ramp jump. He is a proven champion and truly lives the all or nothing attitude embodied by our athletes and our tire owners.â€
^^^ that's not a real production CM it's a custom built race car. It's about as OEM as a NASCAR race car.
3 days away. Wonder why we haven't heard anything about this sooner. Not much PR going on.. Hope he does if for nothing else, to give Tanner something to shoot for!!!
Wonder how long the jump really was even though I guess it wouldn't count sense he crashed. What constitutes a world record with landing. Have to drive away clean?
Glad to hear he is ok. The artical says it was a practice jump so it don't count right? I think they call that a Mulligan. :wink:
Well maybe he needs a new sponsor like RedBull. They give you wings and he needs them. Rear ballast would help the car fly level. :ihih: I have jumped a few cars in my day.
