and velocity, catching the Juke before it
rolled over and then driving balanced on
two wheels. In one of the following runs
he even managed a 400 metre distance –
an achievement that brought huge cheers
from the watching team.
Terry Grant commented: “Chris nailed
it two for two! Driving on two wheels in
two days – most people would take two
months to master that. I think it highlights
his ability to soak up instruction and apply
discipline to something that’s both mentally
and physically challenging – of which he’s
got plenty of experience. Operating under
pressure and being in control at all times,
they’re the skills you need for this stunt. To
master it in such a short period of time though, I’m really impressed.”
Chris Hoy added: “I loved it. I never
thought it would be as much fun as it was,
but I just wanted to keep going. On day
one I felt like I was only getting a first foot
on the ladder and it’d be weeks before I’d
be driving without the safety net. Then today when they took the stabilizer wheel off
and there was the risk of rolling the car, the
pressure didn’t get to me. I remembered
Terry’s instructions and it all came together.
When I caught the roll and was suddenly
driving on two wheels it was such a rush
of adrenaline and relief in equal measure
– an amazing experience. Thanks to Terry
and Nissan for allowing me to add another string to my driving bow.”
Terry Grant is no stranger to two-wheel
driving. Amongst his impressive 23 Guinness World Records he holds the record
for the fastest mile on two wheels, set in
a Nissan Juke NISMO RS at Goodwood
Festival in 2015.
