The video showing Scottish cyclist Kriss Kyle jumping over a moving Formula 1 car is racking up millions of views on social media.
The stunt was performed at the Goodwood Circuit in England, over the RBR model driven by German driver Sebastian Vettel during his 2011 world championship title. For the challenge, the car was being driven by David Coulthard.
“It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. Hearing and seeing the car coming towards me was insane, but I had to clear my mind and focus on what I needed to do to pull it off. It was a dream come true,” said the athlete.

Kyle trained for seven months to achieve this impressive feat. To succeed, he had to jump high enough and get the perfect timing so that the RB7 could pass underneath him while Kyle was in the air.
But this was not the athlete’s first stunt. Recently, he made headlines for the Don’t Look Down challenge, in which he performed tricks on a skateboard ramp suspended from a hot air balloon in mid-flight.
