Grant grabs 2 more records

With Yokohama

Yokohama-supported stunt driver Terry Grant has been at it again, claiming a further two world records for doing donuts, spinning a car in a circle about the front wheels. His latest feat was performed in front of the cameras for the Guinness World Record Show in Madrid, Spain and as he has done throughout this year, Terry used Yokohama tyres as part of his routine.

The first record he broke was held by Dale Morrison and was for 69 donuts performed consecutively. Terry’s Yokohama-equipped TVR Sagaris performed 71 donuts one after the other to take the record. Terry then went on to set a new record for the number of donuts performed while standing on the roof of a car, unrestrained, using his trademark Legends race car.

Once his head had stopped spinning, Terry was quick to praise the Yokohama tyres he used for the feat. “I have to say thanks to Yokohama for supplying the perfect tyre for the job,” he said. “It takes something really special to survive that level of abuse.”

Terry already has his sights set on his next feat, a recreation of the twisting ramp jump from the Bond Movie, The Man With The Golden Gun. According to Grant, it hasn’t been performed live for almost 30 years and he intends to resurrect the stunt for his live show.
