Rally driver Guerlain Chicherit has landed the first full back flip in a car, and he did it in a MINI.

Chicherit pulled off the stunt at Tignes, France, the site of the 1992 Winter Olympics. He launched the customized John Cooper Works MINI off a static ramp (as opposed to one with moving elements to generate rotation), flipped over backwards, and stuck the landing on an enormous ramp made of snow.
