American Powerboat Pilots Claim New World Speed Record for US-Cuba Route

Description

Powerboats sped across the Caribbean Sea last weekend in a blistering pace and the pilots are believed to have set a new Guinness World Record. American speedboat pilots Nigel Hook and Jay Johnson set what they claim to be a new world record, covering the distance from the US island city of Key West to Cuba's Havana in one hour, 18 minutes and three seconds on Thursday. The US duo broke the previous record set by German pilot Roger Kluh in August, who covered the same distance in one hour and 45 minutes. The two pilots are seeking a Guinness World Record recognition for the feat.

Maserati and Jamie Barrow Fastest Speed Record

"Britain's fastest snowboarder Jamie Barrow has broken his own Guinness World Record, clocking a new fastest speed on a snowboard while being towed by a vehicle on the frozen lakes of St Moritz. Barrow previously broke the same record in February 2016, when he was clocked at a speed of 99.87 km/h while being towed behind a car across the same frozen lake in St Moritz. Despite breaking the record in 2016, Barrow was always confident that an even greater speed was possible, due to the track in 2016 being slightly shorter than originally planned and the soft snow not allowing the grip needed. This time he returned to the lake with a powerful Maserati Levante SUV, a much faster car than the one used in his last record attempt, fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Winter tires. The special studded tires have 474 studs per tire and are 4 mm long to allow the best grip possible on the frozen lake. Maserati's luxury SUV offers an array of high-tech features including the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System and the recently developed EPS producing a highly capable SUV. With its variable torque control, the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is always active and responds immediately to any variation in the driving conditions, providing premium performance for Barrow's Guinness World Record."
