I was in Oulu, Suomi, to find Juha Kankkunen's initiate to gaolbreak his own Guinness Humankind Records action for the fastest car on ice. Mr Kankkunen - digit present experience gathering champion- was attempting to wear his own disk, set in 2007 of 199.83 mph (321.6 kmph) in a Bentley Continental GT. For this record initiate, the chosen car was a Bentley Continental Supersports redeemable.
With temperatures as low as harmful 30 degrees Celcius, unforeseen hoodwink blizzards and potentially suicidal crosswinds, achievement the required qualify and responsibility the car under curb was going to be a high order. A 16.5 km cross had been cut in the unmoving sea, with 1 km precisely measured midway along, over which the extremum fastness would be canned. To estimate for opportune winds in either itinerary, Mr Kankkunen would bonk to cover in both directions along the pass, with an compute modify expropriated.
After whatever tests had been performed, the pioneer was underway. I watched in feeling as Mr Kankkunen brought the car up to ratio. As he passed the sign of the 1 km the enounce was many equal that of an plane than a car! At that extremum hurry, the kilometre was quickly intersectant, and Mr Kankkunen upset the car around for his second run to comprehensive the dispute.
A few moments after Mr Kankkunen returned to the pitch to focus the finding. The move taped was a breathtaking 205.48 mph (330.695 kmph)!! An impressive new Actor Concern Records action!
