The test caught on video - including a shot from underneath Sylvester’s “Bad Habits” truck - looks like a cannon shot into Pennsylvania farmland. Sylvester walks away, but not before throwing something at the wreckage.

Sylvester still plans to make his attempt this Sunday at Baker Hill Farm in Columbus, Penn., with a few modifications for launch trajectory. The bid will be aired live on Dirtvision.com.

No wrecks in this one…

If you haven’t seen/don’t watch Top Gear, you wouldn’t know that Bugatti just released a super sport model of their already stupid fast Veyron. They were upset about losing the title of world’s fastest car to the SSC Ultimate Aero, an American car that took the title from Bugatti back in 2007.

Not to be beaten, Bugatti created this modern marvel and it goes without saying that the Top Gear boys needed to put it in the hands of their tame racing driver to see how fast it really is.

No wreck in this one, just some uber-cool airtime by Mikko Hirvonen in a WRC Ford Focus. Info courtesy of Autoblog.

If you’ve ever found yourself as a spectator at a race track, it’s easy to lull yourself into believing that you’ll be as safe as can be just so long as you keep a crash barrier between your brittle bones and the lightspeed chunks of metal blasting by. Thing is, that’s not always the case. The interwebs are full of videos of cars gone airborne, leaping guard rails and tire walls by leaps and bounds to come crashing down in the middle of a passel of spectators. We can officially add the video after the jump to that list of horrors.

According to our English cousins, Portugese driver Francisco Carvalho had a bit of a mishap at this weekend’s World Touring Car Championship event at Brands Hatch. Carvalho was competing in the Seat Leon Euro Cup Race when he received a nudge from a fellow racer. Instead of losing a position, Carvalho’s car was sent veering off of the course and into a crash barrier before bouncing end-over-end and vaulting back over the wall. The crash sent a crowd of race marshals fleeing before the car came to a stop, but amazingly enough, no one was injured. Not even Carvalho. Hit the jump to see the devastation for yourself.

There’s no word yet on what may have caused the engine failure, but Green was unharmed.
