Red Devils on BBC's Top Gear !

With the aid of a PHONEIX-FLY Vampire 2 wingsuit (and a Cyprus POLICE helicopter crew), veteran team member Mac McAuliffe raced presenter Richard Hammond (driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo 4 x 4) over a two mile stretch of the Cyprus Rally circuit - without giving too much away, it was close !

The film would not have been possible without the help and support of the guys at PHOENIX-FLY, so thanks to James Boole for his priceless wingsuit coaching and superb camerawork - and also to Robert Pecnik for sponsoring the superb Vampire 2 wingsuit (though to be honest I think he’s had his money’s worth !). Thanks also to Liz Ashley at Wingin' It wingsuit school at Netheravon (07970 782276) for putting us in touch with PHOENIX-FLY in the first place.

Top Gear is watched by 5.8 million people in the UK alone and 250 million worldwide in 90 countries.
