Heard of Chris Forsberg? He is to sideways hoonery what Stephen Hawking is to theoretical physics. Or cheese strings are to dairy-based produce.
In essence, he is a god in his world. And like all deities, his early life is peppered with astonishing stories of his incredible god-ness. Like powersliding the family tractor at 14 years old. In our eyes, any man who can get a slice of earth-moving equipment sideways gets a TG-sized thumbs up.

Click the vid below to check out the stunt, which he'll be performing this weekend at Silverstone for an extremely thirsty and tyre-hungry horde of spectators.

I love the way tat at the beginning it says "This is a professional driver. You are not. Don't try this at home". This subtle little message will, with no doubt in my mind, be ignored by so many people.
