The Miss Universe pageant took place in Moscow over the weekend. And in the lead-up to the gala judging, Russian race driver Alexey Karachev was enlisted to fling a few of them around the capital's international raceway in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Entrants from Austria, Poland, Germany and Russia got to experience the thrill of the car at high speeds, with the expected shrieks and giggles.

Being an experienced racer, Karachev remained composed throughout the action -- although he did briefly take his eyes off the track when Miss Germany felt the need to adjust her cleavage.

Watch the Miss Universe Merc SLS AMG video here.
