Defeated at the Hands of Tanner

Tanner Foust: Hot Wheels Yellow Driver
It seems like there's nothing Tanner Foust can't do. He's out-drifted the best in his custom V8 Scion tC drift car. He's out Gymkhana-ed the master Gymkhana master Ken Block at his own event. He's out raced the best rally drivers at the X-Games. And now, he's claimed a new world record in the area of extreme motorsport. If you remember December 31, 2009 at about 11:00 p.m., rally racer turned stock car racer Travis Pastrana jumped from a pier to a barge in his rally-ready 450 horsepower Subaru Impreza Rally Car. That jump was a measured 269 ft. Imprezzive! But, today the mysterious Hot Wheels Yellow Driver, a.k.a Tanner Foust, smashed this record in a Hot Wheels custom Rally Raid truck jumping a distance of 332 ft. in front of a vast array of Hot Wheels/Indy Racing fans. What will Tanner do next? A real-life Burnout crash? A top speed run of the next-gen Veyron? A Top Gear special with his Clarksonness? Who knows? Let's just keep watching. Check out the video below to see the awesomeness that is the world-record jump.
