World’s first ever car backflip

Guerlain Chicherit is a well-known French rally driver who has become the first person to complete a successful backflip with a car. This daredevil challenge was carried out by in Tignes, France, thanks to a Mini Countryman.

According to a Mini’s spokesman, the car was modified for the occasion but there was not any extra assistance to complete this crazy stunt. Guerlain hit the 25ft ramp at exactly 37mph, flying 75ft into the air and completing a full 360 degree flip.

Afterwards Guerlain said, “In the jump, I knew the balance of the car was good and it took me maybe 20 seconds to realise I had landed on my wheels.”

Hotel on the move

Ever wanted to fall asleep and wake up somewhere else? This new Pop-Up Shipping Container Hotel in Belgium is always on the move.


The hotel “Sleeping Around” does exactly what it promises: it moves from location to location and gives its guests new surroundings and views every time. At the moment the hotel, consisting of five shipping containers, is present at Antwerp but you’ll only be able to find the exact spot with a GPS device when booking a room.

The owners chose shipping containers for their “pop-up” hotel because of their sturdy exterior, closable doors and easy transportation capabilities on trucks at any time.

Four containers serve as bedroom with a bathroom, breakfast can be taken in the fifth container and soon a 6th container will be the sauna.
