• Fastest vehicle crossing the E

  • From: gwr_talal
  • Description:

    Abu Simbel, November 2009 - After breaking the record for the fastest vehicle crossing the Great Sand Sea, and under the auspices of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, the Egyptian adventurer, Hesham Nessim, achieved his second Guinness World Records record on 11 November 2009, in the Western Desert using one vehicle driving from Siwa to Abu Simbel.

    

    The record was part of Guinness World Records day (12 November 2009) where thousands of people from all around the world attempted different records to join Guinness World Records celebrating this special day.

    The journey started from Siwa Oasis in the far north west of Egypt on the 10 of November 2009 at 6.30 am covering a distance of approximately 1370 km till the ending point in Abu Simbel which is situated in the far south east of Egypt. A Guinness World Records™ adjudicator was kept up to date with progress of the journey every hour via GPS.

    

    To prepare for this adventure, Hesham Nessim has made three discovery trials in preparation for the Fastest Vehicle Crossing the Egyptian Western Desert adventure in cooperation with the Land Rover Car Company that provided Hesham Nessim with a land Rover LR4 car.

    The distance covered by Hesham Nessim consisted of three phases, the first phase was the great sand sea area which covers an area of approximately 600 km, followed by the open desert and reaching the final stage in crossing the mountains and rocks area. The crossing was achieved in 13 hours and 54 minutes with an average speed of 110 km per hour.

    

    The Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority has sponsored the event in significance to its strategy to highlight the natural beauty of the Western Desert.

    

    In a press conference after the successful record attempt, Guinness World Records Adjudicator Talal Omar presented an official GWR certificate and confirmed Mr. Nessim’s terrific achievement.

• GWR Day: Heart Breakfast!

  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    Guinness World Records Day kicked off early in the United Kingdom today as adjudicator Ralph Hannah was invited to Heart FM studios in London, UK for Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Harriet Scott. Last year on Guinness World Records Day the fastest talker Sean Shannon and BBC Newcastle DJ Jon Harle set the record for the fastest time to recite the first verse of a song by a team of two. But today Jamie and Harriet invited the Great British public to phone in and try and set the individual version of the fastest time to recite the first verse of a song.

    

    The rules were simple, the verse must be longer than 28 words and from an officially released song that had charted in at least one country. The song of choice this morning was Madonna's 1986 single True Blue from the album of the same name. After Alison from London had phoned in and failed to recite the verse under the required 10 seconds the Heart studios received a call from Daniel Black who had pulled over on the A10. The part-time MC reeled off the verse in an incredible 7.91 seconds, a brand new Guinness World Record!

    

    But just as the presenters thought they had escaped there was one more record surprise in store. 100 balloons had been blown up in the studio next door in preparation for an attempt for the most balloons burst in one minute. Harriet excused herself (she is due to give birth in January) so the onus fell on Jamie who leapt into it with gusto!

    

    One minute and one tired breakfast radio DJ later - the attempt was over and verification began.

    

    The result, good news and bad news. The good news was that Jamie had beaten Lorraine Kelly who attempted the record last week and only managed 28. The bad news was that with 30 balloons burst, Jamie was ten short of the minimum of 40 balloons needed to set this record. Better luck next time to Jamie but congratulations to Daniel who was officially the UK's first Guinness World Records Day holder!!
