We like videos featuring big European trucks doing crazy things (see the instant legend that is the Jean-Claude Van Damme/Volvo Trucks spot) and we like videos featuring drivers risking life and limb to drive under other cars (see the lowrider scene in Ken Block’s “Gymkhana 7”).

This clip, which features a massive Renault transporter sailing over a screaming Formula One car, manages to work in a bit of both, and let’s face it: It’s probably the most spectacular thing the troubled Lotus F1 team has accomplished in recent memory.

That the jump -- a collaboration between Lotus F1 and the somewhat vague business IT consultation firm EMC -- managed to break a Guinness world record in the process is a nice bonus. To best driver Mike Ryan, future record-breakers will have to soar further than his 83 feet, 7 inches. Stunt driver Martin Ivanov was behind the wheel of the F1 car.

Now Lotus has proved itself capable of redefining international truck-jump records, we wish them the best of luck in redefining their Formula One record in the 2015 season.
