0:00
So the guys are out there measuring as we speak
0:03
Alastair Moffat gets the thumbs up. Let's go for another world record
0:13
Stunt driver Alistair Moffat already has six driving world records to his name
0:19
I got the tightest parallel park, forward, single. I've also got the triple parallel park
0:25
I've got the reverse parallel park, so I'm quite good at parking. The tightest gap driven through on two wheels and this, if we get this record today, it will be the narrowest gap to complete a 360 degree spin
0:37
To achieve this record, Alistair will drive between two rows of parked cars, perform a full 360 degree spin and continue driving without touching the stationary vehicles
0:51
The current record took place in a gap of just 2.5 metres longer than the driver's car
0:58
Alistair will be attempting to shave 25 centimetres off this record. I've been practising for today's record for quite a few months and it's been quite successful, only a few little nudges along the way
1:13
So the rehearsal's gone pretty well, yeah, it's obviously going to be a lot different in front of a live audience, but yeah, it's gone pretty well
1:23
The record was held by a front-wheel drive car before and I'm in a real-wheel drive car, so it will be done
1:27
done slightly differently to how it has been done in the past and Guinness have approved that
1:34
method of doing the actual record attempt He be driving a Subaru BRZ for his record attempt The only modification to the car is that all the electronic systems such as traction control have been disabled
1:48
Just ripped a load of fuses out of it and nothing works apart from the steering wheel
1:52
and the clutch and brake really. It's quite nerve-wracking. It's very tonal vision
2:01
in there with a lot of lighting and that, so it's not
2:05
so much achieving it. It's doing that in a big pressure environment so yeah pretty nervous
2:10
Now what Alistair needs is your encouragement, your applause, cheers, shouts, screams
2:15
Park cars have been set, the distance between them has been measured
2:20
It's time for Alistair to go for the record. He's done it! He has done it a brand new world record
2:30
Alistair has broken the record in front of the crowd, but for his official record it's out
2:35
He has to do it one more time under controlled conditions. The gap is measured, the car is measured and the distance is confirmed at 2.25 meters longer
2:50
than the Subaru. At first things don't quite work out. But eventually he succeeds
3:11
The footage will now be sent to Guinness so his record can be verified
3:18
I welcome a challenger. Let's have it
