Top stunt driver Terry Grant has got back behind the wheel of the Jaguar F-PACE, the car in which he set the Guinness World Record for biggest loop-the-loop, to wow the crowds at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with a spectacular two-wheeled display of precision driving and control.

Grant steered the UK-built F-PACE performance crossover up the famous Goodwood hillclimb course on two-wheels while passenger Lee Bowers, professional freestyle motorcycle stunt rider, climbed out of the passenger window to stand on the side of the Jaguar and salute the crowd before climbing back inside.

“When Jaguar gave me the opportunity to reunite with the F-PACE used to break the world’s largest loop record, I couldn’t say no”, said Grant, adding “Its light, stiff aluminium body and precise controls make it the perfect wheelie vehicle, and it was great to have Lee Bowers along for company – even if he did climb out halfway through our run!”

The F-PACE has become Jaguar’s fastest-selling model to date, with 14,000 orders placed in the first ten months since launch. Built at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant, the F-PACE features a lightweight body made from 80% aluminium.
