Golf & Motor Racing… Who Would Have Thought It?

You may think that Golf and Motor racing are worlds apart, but prepare to witness the two merge in one fantastic clip.

Former racer, now BBC F1 pundit, David Coulthard gets behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster with the aim of catching the furthest golf shot in a motor vehicle.

With the help of pro-golfer, Jake Shepherd, the pair broke the world record, with the ball landing in the cockpit of the car 275 metres away from the tee, travelling at a whopping 178mph.

Needless to say don’t try this at home!
