I cannot find any official record for this. Can anyone shed any light on it?

The electric one is an impressive 171 mph!, but Nitro, can not find .

I seem to remember something a while ago about tethered R/C cars - where they drive round a circular track attached to a wire in the centre. They get some crazy speeds, past 300mph (IIRC)

I believe this may be it. It was posted a few months ago, it maxes out at around 329 kph.

I was wondering what this sound was during a one of those Forza 4 pub loading screens where everyone takes turns annoying each other.

No problem.....but what made you ask the question anyway...an interest or just a passing interest?

Also the "record" is a bit higher (only a bit) than on that link, I seem to remember some bickering about the term "official".......

I want my own record!. Will making enquiries to Guiness.
I tried there website & still nothing official for a nitro record so it looks like open season.

Also never heard of Rossa & their annual speed event is only 20 mins from me.
Will have to prep a car for that too.

Ah...good luck then.

The guy who runs Rossa is Tony, his forum will have plenty of useful info and tips/rules/etc... http://www.fast-rc.co.uk/forum/index.php

Edit- I also had a look on the Guiness site...odd as I am sure Tony has been in contact with them many times...so I asked the question- http://www.fast-rc.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1190.0
