A little bit of fun -especially when it concerns promotional activities- never hurt anyone. As part of a series of events in the lead-up to this Sunday's Australian Grand Prix, Panasonic Toyota Racing pilot Timo Glock took a few lessons from Toyota's Hilux Heroes stunt drivers and managed to drive a near-standard Hilux V6 for 60 meters (around 200 feet) on two wheels. The 27-year-old German then moved on to doughnuts and formation driving where he entertained a large group of invited members of the press.
The Toyota Hilux Heroes team performs nationally at leading metro, regional and rural shows in slightly modified versions of the 4x2 V6-powered Toyota Hilux. The team is made up of leading professional Australian drivers including Guinness World Record holder, Lawrence 'The Legend' Ryan and Jack Monkhouse.
"This was a lot of fun," said Glock on his two-wheel stunt driving cameo. "Although, I think it would be a little hard to drive a Formula 1 car on two wheels."
