"White Knuckle Ride" is the first single from British funk/acid jazz group Jamiroquai's studio album Rock Dust Light Star.

[1] The band describe "White Knuckle Ride" as "a hi-octane retrospective on Jay's career experiences – a cautionary tale equally applicable to anyone's life in these pressure cooker times.

The music video shows Jay Kay piloting a helicopter in pursuit of a Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 along a winding desert road.

After several unsuccessful attempts at losing the helicopter – including driving in wide circuits to raise a cloud of dust to blind Kay, and taking a detour down a tree-lined dirt road – the driver comes to a halt under a viaduct and escapes on foot.

[6] The video was filmed on the Tabernas Desert, in Almeria, Spain and was directed by Howard Greenhalgh.
