Range Rover Sport SVR Breaks Fastest Mile on Two Wheels Record at Goodwood

In West Sussex, Land Rover celebrated its 70th anniversary in style. It brought to the event seventy Land Rovers from all past seven decades, the fastest ever Defender Works V8 and Terry Grant.

Terry Grant is an international stunt driver. He likes to do crazy stuff while driving, a habit which landed him so far a host of World Guinness Records.

For this year’s Goodwood event, Grant decided to take a Range Rover Sport SVR and drive it up the small hill at the location. Nothing remarkable, one might say, except the guy ran the entire mile on only two wheels. The ones on the right, to be more precise.

To break the record for the fastest mile on two wheels at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Grant had to do it in less than two minutes and 55 seconds. He did it in two minutes and 24.5 seconds, becoming the holder of the new Guinness World Record for the fastest mile completed by a car driven on its side.

So, the guy is prone to pulling off such stunts. But what about the car?

It too has been used all year long in all sorts of crazy enterprises. It managed to beat a Ferrari 458 Italia’s time driving through the 99 turns of the Tianmen Road in China. And it also managed to climb, in its PHEV guise, the 999 steps on a 45-degree staircase, on top of the Tianmen Mountain in China at times referred to as Heaven's Gate.

The video showing this weekend’s achievement can be seen attached below. Make sure to watch until the end and witness the SRV come down on all four and rev its engine like crazy as it does so.
