Four job hunters endured the most nerve-wracking interview of their lives - being quizzed on their CVs while hurtling around a test track in a BMW clocking up speeds of 110mph. Hilarious footage shows the suited-and-booted candidates strapped into the back of a black BMW M5 Competition next to the interviewer and shrieking in reply while being literally put through their paces.
The plucky quartet, interviewing for a sales role at car dealer Big Motoring World, endured eye-watering speeds of 110mph - even drifting corners at 70mph. Each interviewee can be seen being flung around in their seats and swearing in terror on the famous Cadwell Park racetrack in Louth, Lincolnshire, while trying to explain why they're the best candidate for the job.
Some appeared to relish the high-adrenaline experience, even cheering their driver on, while one queasy job hunter confessed 'I feel like I'm going to throw up'. Driver and YouTuber Sid North was trying to beat his best lap time on the racetrack known as the mini-Nürburgring in the motor, equipped with a 4.4-litre twin turbo-charged V8.
Sid managed to shave off an impressive six seconds off his previous time, clocking in at 1:48.26 beating his previous time of 1:54.13. The fearsome foursome, who all lasted at least two laps, performed so impressively at the unconventional interview in December that company director Graeme Mitchell hired all four of them on the spot.
Monika Pikciunaite, Jayden Baldwin, Gabrielle Martin and Rishi Sharma were welcomed to the team and hired as sales executives. Ben Goodwin, Sales Director at Big Motoring World said: "One of the most important attributes of an ideal candidate is their ability to perform under pressure.
"We wanted to give our candidates a challenge that blended both pressure and fun and are delighted with how it turned out. Everyone had a chance to prove themselves in a challenging environment, something we hope will help in their new roles. We're pleased to say they all passed with flying colours.
"I also want to say a big thank you to Sid North for being a good sport and taking time out of his busy schedule to come and help out."
