Pity they didn't try doing it in a Groub B rally car back in the day. Would have made for good watching...

The co-driver never even flinched, did Tony Pond have a passenger for his run?

Looks like he clipped the kerb on the inside - and he only barely lifted before the corner in 6th gear, so that was 140MPH plus!!!

On his first run which he didn't break the 100 mph mark he did, but to save weight the co-driver was ditched for the record run.
