attempt – All about car

A world record burnout attempt at Bandimere Speedway near Denver, Colorado could be going totally to waste, due to someone forgetting to file some paperwork.First of all, gathering 170 cars together to do a proper burnout is a feat within itself. Its pretty darn impressive, as can be clearly seen in video of the event.The problem with the attempt was the planning. While organizers did manage to get 170 cars to do a burnout at the same time (apparently more than the previous record of 126 cars in Australia) there was no adjudicator from Guinness World Records there to actually witness it, and there was no paperwork filled out with the record-keepers beforehand.So in the eyes of Guinness, this attempt may have never happened.According to an email sent to Motor1 from the Guinness adjudicators, the attempt was not confirmed, nor could the application for the record attempt be filed after the fact, even though retroactive applications for other records have been filed in the past at a cost of US$800.So, it seems like 340 tires were turned into smoke for no reason at all but to look kinda neat. Sorry, boys and girls.The question here is if the real world record even matters anymore. With the existence of the internet and video technology basically proving the stunt was done, does there really need to be a bunch of paperwork filled out and an actual witness to confirm it happened? We salute the horsepower junkies that did this, whether they get a room temperature stout at the end of the day or

Pemberton Regional Airport is no stranger to supercars as the Hublot Diamond Rally has rented the property for the past few years, but this years gathering in the shade of Mt. Currie could make the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records.Project 604 As a child growing up in his native England, Robbie Dickson dreamed of owning incredible cars and setting world records. Move ahead a few decades and the Vancouver-based entrepreneur has certainly accomplished the former—his current stable includes a Lamborghini Aventador Spyder, a McLaren 720S, a McLaren Senna, a Rolls-Royce Wraith and a soon-to-arrive 2020 Ford GT—and if all goes to plan next weekend he’ll tick that world record off that childhood bucket list. This coming Saturday during the 7th annual Diamond Rally, Dickson, with the assistance of a couple of hundred and change local supercar owners, plans to set a Guinness Book of World Record mark for the most luxury and supercars gathered on an airport runway. He’s been involved in the charity fundraising rally as a founding driver since its inception in 2013, and last year it dawned on he and rally founder Craig Stowe that just such a record was well within their grasp at the Pemberton airstrip they’ve been using for drag races the past few years. “We were so amazed at how many supercars came on the rally, and we think we’ll have two hundred and fifty this year easily,” Dickson said. Stowe is equally confident. “The luxury and supercar community is one hundred per cent behind the challenge,” he said. “We will establish the world record.” Dickson noted that there will be photographers, helicopters and film crews organized to capture the high-octane gathering, and that all registered drivers and navigators will receive a official aerial photo from the endeavour to set a World Record. “We all look forward to sharing the results with Guinness Book of World Records and fingers crossed they will publish the results in an upcoming edition,” he said. The 7th annual Hublot Diamond Rally begins the morning of Saturday, May 4 at Brian Jessel BMW on Boundary Road in Vancouver. Cars begin gathering at 8 a.m. with an official start time of 10 a.m., featuring a VPD motorcycle escort onto Highway 1 en route to the Sea-to-Sky Highway. The rally ends at Pemberton Airport just after noon, with the official world record attempt photo shoot scheduled for 1 p.m. Note that only those with Diamond Rally wristbands will be allowed onto the airport grounds.
