Hey Guys, We are after people and car that would like to try and break a Guinness world record. The record that is attempting to be broken is for ‘MOST CARS PERFORMING DONUTS’. We would like to see at least 100 cars and smash the previous record. There are obviously guidelines we need to abide by and they are - QUOTE GUIDELINES FOR ‘MOST CARS PERFORMING DONUTS’ 1)In keeping with the spirit of this record, the cars must be based on a standard production vehicle. Although modifications to the drive train (engine and transmission) are permitted if necessary to enable the back wheels to spin, the vehicles should not as a general rule be modified in any other way (other modifications must be cleared with Guinness World Records beforehand). A full description of the vehicle outlining its specifications must be supplied, as well as high-quality photographs of the car from various angles. 2)Tyres need not be standard for the cars and may be chosen for suitability. 3)The tyres may not be coated with any substance or modified in any way that will lessen their grip. 4)The surface on which the record takes place must be asphalt or concrete. It should be completely dry and free of ice, oil or any other lubricants. 5)The record is based on the number cars simultaneously performing ‘donuts’ for a period of 10 seconds. 6)Donuts must be performed continuously – cars must remain in ‘circular’ motion throughout the duration of the record attempt. 7)Any cars coming to a stop will not be counted. All those that are interested please email Your Name, Car details, Contact Details, etc to - [email protected] This is a record that will be documented by Guinness World Records themselves and may even appear on TV (in their show they have) it will also feature in the next publication of their book! The attempt will take place on the 23rd of January 2010 This post has been edited by mr_squiggle_1: Dec 6 2009, 04:02 PM --------------------  neillewisfoto -------------------- Need info about anything going on at Queensland Raceway?

QUOTE (mr_squiggle_1 @ Dec 7 2009, 09:36 AM)  Its on the track at Queensland Raceway... I work out at QR and we would like to hopefully see the entire track covered in cars doing donuts. This would wipe out the previous record by a long way! Like I said in my original post, if you want to be part of it you HAVE to email me. We have no set date when this will take place just yet so I'm collecting names and contact details and everyone will be informed. Simply put, no email, no donuts. |

As long as the car is based off a standard production vehicle, with a motor also found in a standard production vehicle there should be no issues. So those of you for example that have a Silvia with a 1J in it will be fine. |

Some emails I have recieved from Guinness World Records themselves - QUOTE !!! CASTING CALL !!! GUINNESS WORLD RECORD TV SHOW Channel 7 are making a Guinness World Record television show and we need expert drivers who want a Guinness World Record and can do DONUTS!!! THE RECORDs Most cars performing donuts simultaneously - 47 and was achieved by Team GReeN (Japan) at Fuji Speedway, Shizuoka, Japan, on 27 May 2009. DEFINITION OF RECORD This record is for the highest number of cars performing “donuts” simultaneously. This record is to be attempted by several individual. This record is measured by the number of cars performing donuts. A doughnut or donut is a maneuver performed while driving a vehicle. Performing this maneuver entails rotating the rear or front of the vehicle around the opposite set of wheels in a continuous motion, creating (ideally) a circular skid-mark pattern of rubber on a roadway. GUIDELINES FOR ‘MOST CARS PERFORMING DONUTS’ In keeping with the spirit of this record, the cars must be based on a standard production vehicle. Although modifications to the drive train (engine and transmission) are permitted if necessary to enable the back wheels to spin, the vehicles should not as a general rule be modified in any other way (other modifications must be cleared with Guinness World Records beforehand). Tyres need not be standard for the cars and may be chosen for suitability. The tyres may not be coated with any substance or modified in any way that will lessen their grip. The surface on which the record takes place must be asphalt or concrete. It should be completely dry and free of ice, oil or any other lubricants. The record is based on the number cars simultaneously performing ‘donuts’ for a period of 10 seconds. Donuts must be performed continuously – cars must remain in ‘circular’ motion throughout the duration of the record attempt. Any cars coming to a stop will not be counted. & QUOTE Most donuts in a production car in 1 minute -22 donuts (360º spins) by Alistair Weaver, in a 1.8 litre Caterham Superlight at Elvington airfield, Yorkshire, UK, on 8 April 2002.
DEFINITION OF RECORD This record is for the most spins (“donuts”) performed in a production car in one minute. This record is to be attempted by an individual. GUIDELINES FOR ‘MOST DONUT SPINS IN A PRODUCTION CAR IN ONE MINUTE’ 1. The vehicle should be a standard production vehicle, unmodified in any way. The only exceptions to this rule are the wheels and tyres, which do not need to be standard to the car. The challenger may choose tyres he/she feels are most suitable for the record attempt. 2. The tyres may not be coated with any substance or modified in any way that will lessen their grip. 3. The surface on which the record takes place must be asphalt or concrete. It should be completely dry and free of ice, oil or any other lubricants. 4. All the donuts must take place within a circle drawn on the driving surface. The radius of this circle must be twice the length of the vehicle used. For example, if the car is 2.3 m long, the radius of this circle must be 4.6 m, and the diameter 9.2 m. 5. The vehicle must stay within this circle at all times during the attempt. Should the front or rear wheels touch or cross the line, the attempt must end. 6. Timing of the minute begins when the rear wheels begin spinning. 7. Before the car begins moving a mark should be made on the edge of the circle to record its position. The number of spins is recorded by counting the number of times the vehicle passes this mark. Only full revolutions count, i.e. should the minute end when the car is halfway around the circle, this half spin cannot be counted towards the total. THE SHOW This new half hour prime time family show for Channel 7 pits Aussie record-breakers against the world as each week they attempt to bring another Guinness World Record home to Australia… The audience will watch the Guinness World Records book come alive in front of their eyes, with the craziest, funniest, and sometimes even downright silly world record attempts! With an emphasis on the very humorous and very physical, Australians are challenged to beat the record ‘for their country’. Patriotism and ‘Aussies taking on the world’ is a very important theme… Everything featured on the show is a genuine Guinness World Record attempt and if successful, will be recognised as an official Guinness World Record. We have a Guinness World Record adjudicator at every record attempt to officiate and rule on the results. Our new show will captivate family audiences with a funny and positive take on the sometimes bizarre, occasionally shocking but always awe inspiring men and women pushing themselves to become brand new record breakers…all for their country! LOCATION/DATES We will be filming at Queensland Raceway on Saturday 23rd of January 2010. You need to supply your own car and have current rego and comprehensive car insurance. |

Basically in your eyes (the owner) this modification was required to make the vehicle perform donuts, right? LOLLLL. Cause everyone knows RBs and SRs cant do donuts  1J only What other records are you guys attempting neil? Ive always had a secret fetish for "worlds longest drift train"

Held by a Caterham 7 in England... 22 in one minute. Rules for it are different to when RJ had the record. Now needs to be a stock standard vehicle. |
