The Subaru BRZ has etched its name into the Guinness Book of World Records, becoming the record-holder for accomplishing the “tightest 360-degree spin” in the world. Stunt driver and world record holder Alastair Moffat effectively steered the BRZ into the record books at the 2016 Autosport International Show.
Setting world records is nothing new to Moffat, who already has a handful of them in his name, including the “tightest reverse parallel park” and “tightest parallel park”. But, unlike those records that he set with old Mini Coopers or Fiat 500s, he used a 14-foot BRZ for a record-breaking attempt that involved driving between two rows of parked cars 2.25 meters apart and performing a full 360-degree spin and continue driving without touching any of the vehicles. The existing record was 2.5 meters, which was achieved in 2014.
Making things a little bit trickier for Moffat was that he was going to drive a rear-wheel drive BRZ in the attempt, far different than the front-wheel drive vehicles that were used in setting the old records. But, Moffat didn’t earn the moniker of world’s greatest car parker by just being good at what he does. He earned it because he’s the best at it, and he proved it once again by successfully performing the stunt and securing the world record for himself and the BRZ.
It’s hardly the most impressive record to be a part of, but if you watch the video and see Moffat and the BRZ in action, it’s actually pretty impressive in it of itself. So yeah, congratulations are in order for the world’s ace parker and the always engaging BRZ.
