World’s Fastest Drift Guinness record set in Poland

Polish race driver Kuba Przygonski has set a new Guinness record for “World’s Fastest Drift” at a sliding speed of  134.8 mph. The record was set behind the wheel of a European-spec Toyota GT86, which is largely identical to the Scion FR-S sold in the US, albeit a highly modified race car with an output of 1,068 brake horsepower.

With an entry speed of 159 mph and maximum angle of 49 degrees, Przygonski broke the previous record of 113.9 mph set by German Alexa Graeff by 20.9 mph. The record was set at Airport Biala Podlaska’s runway near Warsaw, Poland.

According to Guinness, any record for World’s Fastest Drift must be set over a section measuring at least 50 meters and the car’s angle must be at least 30 degrees.

Przygonski is a Polish race car driver for Orlen Team and has also raced in the Dakar Rally.
