Biggest Bang Takes the Top Prize

Description:The British Car Jumping Championship got underway for its seventh year in West Sussex, England. The 'gladiator' style contest features drivers attempting to fly over a line of old wrecked cars, called "banger cars" and then land safely on the other side. Needless to say, those that crash get the biggest applause. Around 800 spectators watched as 11 cars, including this sparkly Mercedes-Benz, ultimately battled it out for the crown. (1:16)
