Top Gear Stunt Team Successfully Completes World's First Ever Double Loop-The-Loop

Delivering on their promise, the Top Gear Live stunt team succeeded in setting a new world record by becoming the first to complete a double loop-the-loop on four wheels during the Top Gear festival in Durban, South Africa, this past weekend.


Called the ‘Deadly 720’, the stunt saw a single seater buggy fruitfully tackling the two loops, each of which was 8 meters tall and comprised 8 tons of steelwork (16 tons in total).

Besides the impressive double loop-the-loop, more than 15,000 people that made it to the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban enjoyed the presence of Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond as well as several stunt drivers and free runners.
