√Subaru WRX slides into the record books with 6km drift
The driver broke traction continuously for a quarter of an hour on a frozen lake in China.
The world’s longest drift on ice has been certified in China by the Guinness Book of Records.
Former racing driver Wang Dongjiang broke traction for 6.231km behind the wheel of his Subaru WRX.
A 311.58m makeshift circuit on Meilong Lake was built for the attempt, with 23 laps completed during the successful 15-minute run.
The feat was achieved in January this year as promotion for the Beijing Winter Olympics, however it was not authenticated by the peak body until this month.
The outright longest drift record was set in 2018, with a BMW M5 sliding 374km on tarmac over eight hours with use of a car-to-car refuelling rig.
Last year a Porsche Taycan sedan broke the drift record for an electric car, completing 42.171km over 55 minutes before the batteries went flat.
