Lo all
Looking at starting a new project, I have been tossing some ideas around for some different configurations for an XD ute. I am aiming to build it up so it can break the world record for the most consecutive donuts ever done by a car. Only problem is, I dunno what the record is. Does anyone else?

Here you go:
The most consecutive donuts (spins) in a car is 82 and was achieved by Alberto Aires, aka Zé Loquinho (Brazil) on a Chevette 78 at the Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba, Curitiba, Brazil, on 24 February 2006 http://community.guinnessworldrecord...3245/7691.html |

I think it's more than that now.
A Gemini here in OZ, seen on 1 of the Grunt Files dvd's lays the claim. Desert Duellers or Truck TA's FTW!!!!!!!!!! |

Looks like the front inside wheel needs to be stationary and steering wheel straight, otherwise its classed as a drift which is taken by 2010 Mustang GT.

I wonder if I'm allowed to use independent front wheel braking?

Isn't it truth that you need some sort of anti-g suit, as the G's can cause you to pass out after 20 or so spins? Or something like that?

What you need to do is this; mount solid rubber tyres on rear of car, disconnect rear brakes, remove all the interior and any protruding leftover cabin bits inside of grunty ford V8, mount a swivel chair as centrally as you can in the occupant space of vehicle, connect fly by wire throttle, steering and braking controls to swivel chair. How you need to do it is like this; Wait for very windy day, locate vocal petrol head type crowd loitering with intent around unused burnout pad, focus your attention on pretty lass standing in said crowd, commence wild burnout whilst using legs to keep body facing in the general direction of eye candy as the car rotates around you. then after XXX rotations, live the glory........ simple |

Dunno where I"ll be doin it yet, but the car (if I get around to building it) will be off the chart, first one of its kind.
I shouldn't have any troubles getting a time slot at Powercruise to make the attempt in front of a crowd.

I think the hardest bit will be keeping the tyres from not poping before ya get to 82 donuts...
I would say you would need a very hard tyre or even better a soild tyre that will never pop...

If you did other things that were kinder on the tyres (handbrake locks calliper on front left wheel) or spraying water over the right rear wheels to encourage less grip or to prolong tyre life that might help. |

Surely you then have to grab a broom out of the back of the ute, throw it on the ground and attempt to jump over it for the record to count...?

The car in this video was the previous record holder at 64 spins. He has since done 112 but was only at a demostration show at archerfield speedway in brisbane so the judges weren't there.. I used to work on the car when i was living in brisbane, it runs a 3.8 VN commodore V6 in it. For the full video you'd have to buy the Grunt files DVD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRXSCwwtxhg oh and i love the fact that in the video further up the page the guy has a full race suit and full face helmet on, as opposed to the australian standard safety equipment shown in this video... |
