Okay, this came out a few days ago, but we have been busy okay? A while back professional skier, rally driver and all-round daredevil nutcase Guerlain Chicherit to set a world record for the world’s longest ramp to ramp jump in a car. It went very badly wrong.

The latest of those is “Speed Sisters”, a documentary that is in production now that tells the story of the first and only all-female, […]
