Norwegian driver Mads Østberg pulled off the feat on the Ouninpohja stage of the recent Rally Finland, after negotiating a right-hand bend and absolutely flooring it over the infamous blind “Yellow House” jump. The reward for his commitment was a glorious 50 meter journey through the air, to the delight and amazement of on-looking fans. To put that in perspective – 50m is 12 times the length of the actual car (a Ford Fiesta is around 4 metres), or three and a bit double decker buses!
It wasn’t quite enough to beat the world record however, which still stands at a ludicrous 58 metres!
