ABARTH CELEBRATES NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD WITH 124 SPIDER
/· Alastair Moffatt has claimed the Guinness World Record for the ‘fastest figure of eight, five times between two cars’
· New Guinness World Record set at the 2018 Chateau Impney Hill Climb in July
· Completely standard Abarth 124 spider used in record attempt
Abarth is celebrating achieving a new Guinness World Record after one of its 124 spider models achieved the ‘fastest figure of eight, five times between two cars’ in 45.66 seconds.
At the wheel of the completely standard car was world-renowned stunt driver Alastair Moffatt. The record was set during the 2018 Chateau Impney Hill Climb in July this year, but has only now been officially recognised by the famous world record organisation.
Alastair executed the astonishing manoeuvre of a figure of eight, sliding neatly between two other Abarth 124 spiders, five times in succession.
The vehicle used had no modifications made to the engine, gearbox, chassis or brakes. The car’s electronic stability program (ESP) was also turned off to allow the Abarth 124 spider to be controlled using the handbrake, and the tyre pressures were increased to compensate for the abrasiveness of the surface.
Alastair, a Master Instructor at Stunt Drive UK, holds multiple Guinness World Records for precision driving including the ‘Tightest Reverse Parallel Park’ and ‘Tightest Single Parallel Park’.
Commenting on his achievement, he noted, “It’s wonderful to have set this record! Finding the right vehicle is increasingly important for these record attempts, so the light weight, agility and rear wheel drive of the Abarth 124 spider made it the perfect choice.”
Gerry Southerington for Abarth UK commented, “We’re delighted that Alastair chose the Abarth 124 spider for this record attempt. Abarth have a long history of setting records in the past and it’s great to have added a new one.
“We congratulate Alastair on his remarkable achievement. We don’t recommend that people attempt such amazing stunts in public, but it’s good to know that the Abarth 124 spider is incredibly maneuverable in the hands of a trained professional.”
The Abarth 124 spider is fitted with a 1.4 MultiAir Turbo 170hp engine reaching 62mph in 6.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 144mph while returning a combined cycle and emitting 148g/km CO2 for the manual. The 1.4 MultiAir Turbo engine has a combined cycle of 44.1mpg for the manual and 42.8mpg for the automatic.

ALASTAIR MOFFATT ACHIEVES A BRAND NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR THE FASTEST TIME TO DRIVE A CAR ON TWO WHEELS BETWEEN TEN PARKED CARS!
/
Stunt Driving guru Alastair Moffatt has taken on and conquered the new challenge of driving a car on two wheels between ten parked cars for the next series of CBBCs’ Officially Amazing World Record Breaking Programme.
o This amazing feat was recorded during the summer of 2017, with the outcome held under BBC embargo until the programme aired earlier today.
This Guinness World Record is calculated by timing how long it takes to drive a car on two wheels between ten parked cars and marks one of Alastairs greatest challenges to date. Dropping the car back down onto four wheels, its side or touching any of the parked vehicles invalidates the record attempt.
This attempt is the latest Guinness World Record achieved by Alastair who is delighted to add this title to his ever expanding GWR collection which includes coveted titles such as the Guinness World Records for the Tightest Single Parallel Park, Tightest Reverse Parallel Park and Tightest Gap Driven through on Two Wheels.
Alastair was supported by three generations of the Moffatt Family during this attempt, with the familiar faces of his brothers, John and Trevor being joined by father Bill, son William and wife Gemma.
Alastair commented This record means a lot to me because it is the first Guinness World Record my son has been part of. He was only 2 years old when this was recorded, but he loves his toy cars and practices parallel parking at home in the kitchen all the time. I’m delighted that I was able to achieve a record when he was part of the Moffatt Family Team supporting me.
Alastair Moffatts’ astounding display of precision driving is available on BBC iPlayer.
