Daredevil stunt driver Gregg Godfrey has etched his name into the record books with an incredible performance that earned the Guinness World Record for the longest ramp jump by a truck cab. At the Evel Knievel Days event in Butte on 24 July 2015, Godfrey launched a powerful truck cab off a ramp and soared 50.60 metres (166 feet) through the air — a breathtaking distance for a heavyweight vehicle not designed for flight.
Godfrey an experienced stunt performer and filmmaker — had previously set his own record at 15.39 m, but his 2015 leap shattered that mark and captured global attention for its daring scale and precision.
The jump took place in front of an enthusiastic crowd, highlighting both the skill of the driver and the engineering behind safely launching and landing a large truck cab at such high speeds. This achievement stands as one of the most thrilling motorsport stunts recognised by Guinness World Records and continues to inspire fans of extreme automotive performances worldwide.
