Humans love extreme records. We love speed. We love danger. And these records prove it!
The Ack Attack is a special motorcycle. But it does not look like an ordinary motorcycle. It is the fastest motorcycle in the world.
Mike Akatiff is the designer. He designed the Ack Attack in 2001. He was a motorcycle racer. He wanted to build the fastest motorcycle in the world. When it was built, he let Rocky Robinson ride it.
Rocky Robinson broke the record for the fastest motorcycle speed three times. He broke it in 2006, 2008, and 2010.
The motorcycle is very fast. Rocky Robinson rode the Ack Attack at 634 kilometers per hour. That is 394 miles per hour.
But it's not only speed records that vehicles can break. Jamie Morrow holds the record for the most donuts in a car in a row. No, not the food! A donut is when you spin your car in circles. He did 280 spins in a row. I bet he felt dizzy after that.
Drifting is popular in the driving world. Drifting is when you slide sideways, but remain in control. A driver drifts round corners.
Masato Kawabata holds the record for the fastest drift in the world. His speed was 305 kilometres per hour. It is difficult to keep control at this speed. Masato is a talented driver.
Stunt driver Terry Grant holds a scary record. He did a barrel roll in a car. In 2017, he did a 15.3 metre barrel roll in a Jaguar car. This phenomenal stunt is often seen in movies. But it's hard to do in real life.
A ridiculous record was set in France in 2013. 31 clowns fit into a single car! The car was a Citroen C2V. A clown car is something used by clowns in their shows. They fit as many clowns in the car as possible. It is funny to watch!
Some car records have been stopped. Guinness World Records no longer allows burnouts. They say that they are bad for the planet. It was a good decision.
But many car records are still dangerous. Do you think they should stay in the record book?
