Thread: Cape Town-London maailmarekord sulgub Fiat Panda

875cc linna auto sõidab kaks Britid poolt tasumisele kuuluv London täna. Paar Briti draiverid on väidetavalt kaks Guinnessi maailmarekordid oma Fiat Panda TwinAir tunni jooksul. Philip Young ja Paul traksidega oodatakse täielik 10,300 km teekond Lõuna-Aafrikast Londonisse täna (esmaspäeval) kui kaup saabub Marble Arch täna õhtul.
Nende teekond algas 1. veebruar, tähendab rohkem kui 1000 km päevas katse ajaks karm ajakava. Kui edukas, noor ja traksidega aitab saavutada kaks uut maailmarekordit; Esiteks, Cape Town London, mis käesoleval ajal 14 päeva, 19 tundi ja 26 minutit, ja London-Kaplinn (mis tahes suunas), mille kirje on 11 päeva, 14 tundi ja 11 minutit.
Oma reisi kogu Aafrikas, Nooremad ja traksidega sai esimesed inimesed sõita üle uus maa piiri vahel Sudaanis ja Egiptuses ning ka 1000 km Liibüa ülaosas. Nendel liinidel avati spetsiaalselt paari; välismaalastele on praegu keelatud, kui terrorirünnakute oht on liiga suur.
Panda, Nooremad ütles, et see on olnud suurepärane drive... kaks silindriline mootor on täiesti otsa, on suur kell möödasõit ja kudumine kaudu tihe liiklus nii Keskmine kiirus saab olema ajakohastatud.

875cc city car driven by two Britons due in London today. A pair of British drivers are within hours of claiming two Guinness World Records in their Fiat Panda TwinAir. Philip Young and Paul Brace are expected to complete a 10,300 miles journey from South Africa to London today (Monday) when they arrive at Marble Arch this evening.
Their journey began on 1st February, meaning a gruelling schedule of more than 1,000 miles a day for the duration of the attempt. If successful, Young and Brace will achieve two new world records; firstly, for Cape Town to London, which currently stands at 14 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes, and the London to Cape Town (any direction), the record for which is 11 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes.
In their journey across Africa, Young and Brace became the first people to drive across a new land border between Sudan and Egypt and also the 1,000 miles along the top of Libya. These routes were specially opened for the pair; foreigners are currently prohibited as the risk of terrorist attacks is deemed too high.
Of the Panda, Young said it has been great to drive. . . the two cylinder engine has run perfectly, it's great at overtaking and weaving through heavy traffic so the average speed can be kept up.
