X Games: Hot Wheels Double Loop Stunt (VIDEO)

WATCH: Real-Life Hot Wheels Double Loop Stunt
|

Two drivers have broken a world record by hurling themselves around a real-life Hot Wheels 'Double Loop' stunt course at the X Games in Los Angeles.

Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy drove at 52mph to make it around the 66ft-high loops.

They smashed the record for the previous highest loop, which stood at 42ft.

The drivers said they experienced seven Gs while travelling the course.

"That was pretty hardcore: the seven Gs ... I almost felt my chin hit my lap, I think, in the loop," said Tanner Foust. :I felt like I was in a toy."

The stunt - which also included a jump after the double loop itself - had taken about a year of planning and training.

They were watched by thousands of spectators at the X Games extreme sports competition.
