NISSAN TO SET NEW SPEED RECORD

Nissan has set its sights on claiming two records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 1-3 July.

Nissan will makes its first attempt at a two-wheeled record up the Goodwood Hill, with the Juke SUV aiming to become the fastest four-wheeled machine to climb the entire course using just two wheels.

The second one, Nissan LEAF, will attempt to become the fastest car ever to be driven up the famous hill climb course – backwards.

Professional stunt driver, Terry Grant, will be the man attempting to set the records by performing the stunts once every day he said: “I’ve experienced Goodwood before but never attempted to set a new record. To have the chance to grab not only one but two records at the same event will hopefully provide everyone with a very entertaining spectacle.”
