James Bond stuntman takes Subaru WRX down Olympic bobsled run

Glitzy St Moritz has surely never seen anything like the sight of a car driving and sliding its way down a bobsled track.

Many of the patrons at Switzerland’s playground of the rich and famous would be been taking a second glimpse through their Ray-Ban aviators when stunt driver Mark Higgins pulled his Subaru STI up at the top of the Olympia Bob Run.

There were bumps and grazes of the walls at regular intervals as Higgins negotiated the track.

Higgins is no stranger to hair-raising efforts in cars – he has stood in for Daniel Craig during some of the more elaborate car scenes in James Bond movies.

He may have been James Bond before, but this effort from Higgins was more reminiscent of Cool Runnings.
