Το ρεκόρ που λέγαμε χθες; Αυτό με το παγκόσμιο ρεκόρ του μεγαλύτερου drifting; Έγινε πραγματικότητα, αφού ο Maulo Calo με μια Mercedes C63 AMG έκανε συνεχόμενο drift για 2.308 μέτρα, 394 περισσότερα από το προηγούμενο ρεκόρ του 2009. Βέβαια ο στόχος που είχε θέσει των 3 χλμ δεν έγινε αφού τα πίσω ελαστικά δεν άντεξαν και καταστράφηκαν!

MAURO CALO BREAKS THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE LONGEST CAR DRIFT
Today, 19 June, Mauro Calo proved his driving flair by breaking the world record for the longest car drift at Mercedes-Benz World, Surrey. Mauro smashed the existing World Record by 394 metres achieving a total distance of 2308 metres to add his name to the record books and the title to his established driving career.
To achieve the record breaking distance, Mauro chose part of the Handling Circuit at Mercedes-Benz World, Weybridge Surrey. The circuit provided a complete 360 degree circle of tarmac which saw him complete almost 8 laps.
Mauro is no stranger to Mercedes-Benz World as his career as a professional driver includes working at the venue providing driving experiences to guests and also entertaining crowds with precision driving skills in the dynamic Silver Arrows Display.
Andrew Mallery, Commercial Operations Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars commented: “When Mauro approached us to hold his record breaking attempt on the circuit at Mercedes-Benz World we were happy to offer him the support. He has been a valuable member of the driving experience team for several years and is a respected driver in the industry, so there was no doubt he would achieve his aim”.
