Porsche achieves fastest vehicle slalom record

Porsche Cars North America has announced a new Guinness World Records achievement for the fastest vehicle slalom.

16-year old Chambers achieved the 47.45-second run on 21 August 2020, setting a new benchmark pace in an exercise that tests both driver and vehicle. She achieved this feat behind the wheel of a 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder, which was completely stock, right down to its tyres. Chambers, who has seven years of racing experience, currently competes in several karting series.

The record was broken in August under the supervision of an adjudicator from Guinness World Records on an independently-certified course measured by a surveyor. The course was laid out on an air strip and consisted of 51 cones equally spaced at 15.24m intervals. Timekeeping of the record run was conducted by Racelogic.
