World's fastest man Wing Commander Andy Green crashes his £100,000 Jaguar into the straw bales at the Festival of Speed He might be the fastest man in the world, but Wing Commander Andy Green came unstuck at the Goodwood Festival of Speed today when he crashed his Jaguar XJR Rapid Response Vehicle into the straw bales. Green was driving up the 1.16-mile hillclimb course as part of the Michelin Supercar Run, but misjudged his approach speed to the infamous Molecomb left-hander, running over the grass on the inside of the track before crashing head-on into the barrier. Nobody was injured in the accident, but the car suffered heavy damage to the front, and the impact was also severe enough to break a television camera situated at the corner.
