South African racing driver, Jesse Adams, has recently broken the previous world record for the longest continual drift in a vehicle.
Previous record holder, Harald Muller, slid his way into the record books with a total distance drifted of 144.126 kilometres in a Toyota GT86. Adams took the same weapon of choice, a GT86, for a 1,000 lap spin around the Gerotek Testing Facility in South Africa and set a brand-new record of 168.502km drifted!
After all the invalid laps with spin-outs & incomplete actions had been deducted, the total number of accepted laps was 952, allowing Adams to beat Muller’s previous record by 24.376km.
