Formula 1 legend David Coulthard and professional golfer Jake Shepherd have broken the world record for the “farthest golf shot to be caught in a moving car”.

In this epic behind the scenes film, you can see all the efforts behind trying to snare this odd, not to mention very difficult, hole-in-one.

As part of a Mercedes Benz promotions, David Coulthard drove the car up to 193km/h while Jake Shepherd clocked the ball at 286km/h to get the winning shot. 

Of course, it wasn’t that easy.  The shot took plenty of planning and the Mercedes copped an injury or two with a cracked windscreen and most probably in need of new tyres.

A Guiness Book of World Records adjudicator was on hand once the record was completed to officially announce the record broken.
