Summary Stunt driver Guerlain Chicherit undertakes the daredevil challenge in the ski resort of Tignes.
In the French Alps, stunt driver Guerlain Chicherit undertakes the daredevil challenge in the ski resort of Tignes.
Set amongst the backdrop of the beautiful snowy mountains in Tignes, France, Chicherit drove up a static ramp and launched his Mini Countryman at just the right speed to allow him to fully rotate his vehicle before landing on a bank of snow. According Mini it was the first successful completion of such a stunt.
A team from Redbull attempted a similar feat in 2008 but failed to make a clean landing.
Mini said the jump was unassisted. Previous attempts at a backflip in a car have used special enhanced ramps to boost the vehicle s rotational movement.
