Fiat's 875cc city car, driven by two Brits, takes days off previous record times. A pair of British drivers have claimed two Guinness World Records by driving a Fiat Panda TwinAir from Cape Town to London. Philip Young and Paul Brace completed the 10,300 mile journey from South Africa to London yesterday when they arrived at Marble Arch.
Their journey began on 1 February, meaning a gruelling schedule of more than 1,000 miles a day for the duration of the attempt. Their overall journey time of 10 days, 13 hours and 28 minutes gives them two new world records; firstly, for Cape Town to London, which previously stood at 14 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes, and the London to Cape Town (any direction), which was 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.
