Apparently there’s a Guinness World File for the world’s quickest wheel change on a transferring automobile, and it was set earlier this yr in Italy.
Manuel Zoldan and Gianluca Folco set the document of 1:17.64 in February, and a video lately posted to Guinness World Information’ YouTube channel reveals the insane approach that they did it.
One particular person drove, tipping the automobile (an E46 BMW 3 Sequence sedan) up on two wheels. The opposite crawled out the entrance passenger’s facet window and onto the hood to do the wheel change. Clamps on the surface of the automobile held the spare wheel till it was able to be put in place, and the wheels used for the swap have been smaller, lighter donut spares. For aptitude, the duo carried out the stunt in Evel Knievel-inspired outfits.
Simply holding the 3-Sequence upright appears tough sufficient, not to mention slinging lug nuts whereas it was driving round with two wheels within the air. But Zoldan and Folco weren’t the primary to aim this; they needed to beat a earlier document of 1:30.
This is not the one wheel-changing document, both. In case you have been questioning, the document for quickest time to alter all 4 wheels on a stationary automobile is 49.03 seconds, and was set by a storage in Vienna in October 2021. Race vehicles and groups are presumably excluded from this document, as Formulation One groups routinely change 4 tires in effectively underneath 10 seconds.
There’s additionally a Guinness World File for quickest time to alter a wheel on a spinning automobile. At 3:10, the document has stood since 2010. We might like to see a video of that.
