Due to very late notification (16th March) please inform your members of the following via news sections ~ forums ~ events calendars ...

GREAT NEWS – SUPRA, MR2, CELICA etc. NOW ELIGIBLE TO JOIN 4x4’s IN GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ TOYOTA RECORD ATTEMPT!

Want to be a world record holder? Well now you can ... thanks to a major eleventh hour decision by governing body Guinness World Records™. Basically, what started out in November 2005 a s an event solely for SUV 4x4’s such as the Land Cruiser, Hi-Lux or Rav4 (cars were ineligible due to a minimum ground clearance limit) has suddenly developed into something far more exciting.

Guinness World Records™ have indicated the original working title of ‘Longest Toyota 4x4 Procession' be amended to ‘Largest Parade of Toyota Cars which of course now means that all Toyota models of whatever type or powertrain are eligible! Please be aware this notification only occurred 16th March 2006, hence the extremely short notice.

This being the case, please spread the word by informing fellow owners that an attempt to break the current world record of 162 Toyotas (set in Holland 2003) will take place on 9th April 2006 based at Towcester Racecourse, Northamptonshire NN12 7HS. Entry cost has purposely been kept very low, so PLEASE make the effort.

The parade itself will take place on an 8 mile stretch of dual-carriageway in whi ch up to 20+ world records for a host of vehicle marques will be attempted. Eligible cars include Ford (Escort, Focus, Capri, Cortina, Sierra etc.) Honda (CRX, Integra, S800 etc.) Mazda (MX-5, MX-8, RX-7 etc.) Mitsubishi (FTO, GTO, Evo, etc.) Nissan (200X, Almera, Skyline, Micra, Primera, Silvia, Sunny/Pulsar etc.) Subaru (Impreza etc.) Vauxhall (Astra, Cavalier, Corsa, Viva, Tigra, Nova, Vectra, Calibra, VX220 etc.) and so forth. Needless to say this should prove rather interesting to say the least!

Put it this way - the venue is already booked, the logistics including Health & Safety and suchlike are all in place, all the Marshals and back-up teams are raring to go, and hun dreds of 4x4 owners and campers are already booked in; so why not add some Jap performance cars into the mix to ensure we establish or even break some new world records? Remember, as part of a successful record attempt every owner who participates can rightfully call themselves a “world record holder” ... and all this for only £20 per vehicle including passengers. Should be very interesting!

Entry fee @ £20 per vehicle which includes Day Admission for the driver and up to 4 passengers, event decal and the all-important Certificate of Participation. For those who don’t want to enter the procession but simply spectate, Day Admission is £5 per adult, children under 16 yr s are free. Camping is also possible Fri-Sun at £8 per night. Off-road course £20 play-all-day. Advance-Booking Form is available by request from 4x4trading@talk21.com Book now for a guaranteed entry.

Depends if it's on the dual carriage way around Towcester.... road works everywhere and single file traffic :(

And why are they mixing Marques on the same day? If it was Toyota only, fair enough but I don't fancy parading around with all the other makes. Just sounds like a glorified cruise, with traffic jams galore...
