Terry Grant to feature in the Live Action Arena

Terry Grant will be returning to Autosport International’s Live Action Arena this weekend to add yet another Guinness World Record to his impressive collection.

The accomplished stunt driver, and holder of 15 Guinness World Records, will be bringing three of his 20-strong fleet of cars: The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 9, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Renault Twingo.

The modern-day lion-tamer, who makes his fearsome machinery perform the seemingly impossible with a twist of the steering wheel, has several firsts planned for his petrol-head audience and says he is looking forward to the fans’ reaction.

“Autosport has been a great show for me,” said Grant, who performs 60 shows a year around the world. “I’ve done it every year for the last ten years or so and I’ve developed quite a following. I always get a fantastic reaction from the crowds at Autosport!”

Grant is keeping his record attempt strictly under wraps until the big day, but says he is confident of achieving this latest goal. “I’m going to need all my skills!” he said. “I’ve not actually managed it in practice yet, so my first few performances will be a warm up, but I’m sure I’ll do it!”

In another first, Grant plans to drive the Mitsubishi Evolution 9 on two wheels, a feat that has never been performed in this country with that kind of car. The 400bhp 4x4 car is equipped with anti lag, launch control and many other modifications, including six different diff settings that Grant can adjust while driving the car.
