Mark Higgins flies over a crest during his record run at the Isle of Man TT

Mark Higgins' record run around the tight, treacherous Isle of Man TT circuit in a production Subaru WRX set off quite a bit of buzz, but this official video captures the lap's danger and excitement.

There's no shortage of either, as Higgins alternately flies and drives the WRX around the hilly circuit. At the end, Higgins talks through the now-infamous "moment," which happened in a 150-mph section. The ensuing tank-slapper could easily have ended in disaster, but Higgins worked the wheel and pedals feverishly, somehow managing to keep the car straight.
