The stunt was a life-size model of the V drop track set that you hang on the back of your bedroom door. It was very, very, very big and long.

We watched the stunt take place from the VIP enclosure in the middle of the track, right next to the action.

When the driver, Tanner Foust drove down the ramp and took off it was like watching a car that was flying. He smashed the previous world record by 9.4m (31ft) jumping an amazing 101m (332ft).

After he landed he stood on the roof of the car. People were shouting and jumping up and down.

I met Tanner the day before at the track and he said he was nervous but I knew he could do it.

I would really love to do a stunt like that.
