• This year's Commercial Motor Truckfest will see the UK debut of Le Looping Camion, a French somersaulting truck sponsored by Renault.
French driver Patrick Bourny will pilot the 187kW vehicle through a loop-the-loop sequence at Peterborough's East of England showground.
To somersault the truck Bourny has to lock the front wheels, encouraging the vehicle to topple forward and overturn on to its back before landing safely on its wheels again.
