Full Version: Donutting world record

Last sunday my Caterham dealer broke the world record for most consecutive donuts which until then was 82 donuts by Alberto Aires from Brazil in a Chevette 78. He achieved ~160 donuts within 10 minutes in a Caterham. Still has to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records.

Short Youtube video here (in german)

I had my bullet cam on the car for the onboard video which I will post later.




Shortly before the start (bullet cam is on the rollbar)

Along similar lines, here's a guy going 6,285 feet (1.19 miles) in a continuous donut with a 2010 Mustang and stock tires, on dry pavement (the actual run starts at abotu 2:22 into the video):

I have to give Alberto some props to have held an automotive world record with a Chevette.

Very cool. I didn't realise that after about 83 donuts the tyres won't hold the line properly anymore. Very interesting.
Congratulations

the video for the 7 was pretty underwhelming, the 'stang donut was cool though.

Onboard video here (190 MB).

Currently I am a bit short of time so I didn't do any fancy editing except converting it into a WMV. Just the raw video with 10 mins. of donutting and lots of steam in the end.

The mustang is actually considered a drift, donuts definitely different that a drift - which the video is trying to point out

The Mustang IS doing donuts too, though, just bigger ones than the Caterham and on dry pavement. He's not just chucking it in a straight line with the back stepped out after exiting a turn, like he talked about at the beginning of the Mustang video.

I agree it's not what we advertised, but it's the only way to sustain a drift that long, and it isn't a donut simply because the shape is the same. It's a sustained drift, anyone can do donuts.
