Top Gear does a double loop-the-loop


If you love cars, it’s a given that you’ll love Top Gear.  You may have even been to one of the Top Gear live shows where Jeremy and the boys do stunts in front of a live audience. The boys have taken that to the extreme in South Africa.

We’ve seen the odd 360 degree loop around the traps, like the kind Hot Wheels makes orange tracks for your kids. Although if you’re anything like me, you might have rigged your Hot Wheels to do a double loop. The Top Gear team has taken the massive leap to go from Hot Wheels playsets to real life.

In Top Gear’s South African live show, in front of a huge stadium audience, the crew rigged up a complete double loop and attempted the world first feat in a specially rigged buggy.

Take a look at the result! Amazing!
