Tuk-Tuk Sets Fastest Lap On The Nürburgring
Words by Alessandro Marrone / Photos by Gran Turismo Events
A crazy accomplishment brought to life by authentic psychos, even if not for the speed reached. It is the fastest lap made by the most special Tuk-Tuk in the world, that of the guys at Gran Turismo Events, who ran an entire lap of the track in just 31 minutes 49 seconds and 46, becoming the fastest (and most likely the only one) Tuk-Tuk to spank the green hell of the Nürburgring.
The target has been achieved after three years in which these maniacs wanted to take the time between one driving tour and the other. In fact, Gran Turismo Events is one of the most important international realities when it comes to driving rallies at the wheel of supercars, boasting over 4,000 members scattered around the globe and an incredible number of events organized from 2002. That of the Tuk-Tuk is one of the many incredibly funny moments founding members Peter Ternström and Björn Lagercrantz came up with, which also allowed the cute Thai taxi to end up in the museum of the most famous circuit in the world.
Here is the video produced for the fast lap! Do not forget to fasten your seat belt.
