The Scalextric Guinness World Speed Record has been smashed by celebrity Dallas Campbell.

He set a new speed equivalent to 983.88mph with a Honda F1 model Scalextric racer.

That beats the previous record by almost 300mph, which stood at 696.90mph.

It was achieved on a 200-foot stretch of track set up at the VK Chatsworth Rally Show.

Former rally champion Steve Perez was on hand to help out and said: "It's amazing that cars of this size can achieve equivalent speeds of over 900mph, with Dallas achieving a terrific feat by smashing the world record by some margin."

 

 

Quite surprising, especially since the title of it on the Yahoo homepage was "F1 Car Beats 1000mph Speed Barrier" :p.

Yes, which makes it a load of old rubbish. Physics doesn't work like that.

 

That was what I was thinking, don't even thinking. I don't even do physics and know that dosn't work. Thats why a car with 50 bhp can do over 100 mph but to go 200 you need 500+ normally. Why bother, thats like saying a Peel goes 300 becouse its much smaller than a veyron.
