DuDu car's driving tour around the world
In 213, two British teachers drove a tuk-tuk car, and set off from London in August 212 to start a journey around the world. They have set a new world record for driving the longest distance with a toot-toot, and will become the first couple to travel around the world with a toot-toot after crossing the Andes in South America.
richard sears and Nick Goff, both aged 28, are good friends and both teach at the Royal Grammar School in guildford, Surrey. They set off from London on August 13th, 212, and started this unusual round-the-world trip in a tuk-tuk car nicknamed Tommy. So far, they have traveled to 37 countries and regions such as Britain, France, Spain, Egypt, South Africa, India and Nepal, and now they are in Peru, a South American country, with a cumulative journey of about 37,5 kilometers, thus setting a new world record for driving the longest distance with a tuk-tuk car. The previous record was 37,41 kilometers set by Germans Susie Bansai and Daniel Schneider in 25.
according to the plan, they will arrive in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after crossing the Andes in South America in December 213, and become the first couple to travel around the world in a tuk-tuk car. Gough said, "We have been to many wonderful places and met some extraordinary people." According to the regulations, the Guinness Book of World Records must be formally established after Sears and Goff have completed the whole trip. British Sky News Channel said on November 26th, 213 that they hoped that the record would be certified by Guinness World Records Certification Organization as soon as possible.
Needless to say, the bad weather and dangers encountered along the way, "Tommy" is also in constant condition. It once collided with a truck in Malaysia, was attacked by an elephant in Botswana, and once went on strike because of its failure when it traveled to Chile, a South American country.
With victory in sight, Sears and Goff had to use manpower to drag the .8-ton car forward. This situation lasted for three days. It was not until they traveled to the Peruvian city of Chippen that they found a mechanic who could repair the tuk-tuk car. In the photo published in the British "Daily Mail", Sears wears a strap on his shoulder and drags "Tommy" forward in the Sechula desert in northern Peru; In another photo, the "coachman" was replaced by Goff.
in three days, the two men dragged the car forward about 69.2 kilometers. However, it was at this time that the Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by tuk-tuk was born.
tuk-tuk is chosen as a means of transportation because it is "slow in speed, open in space and low in displacement", which is convenient for them to communicate with passers-by. Tommy's top speed is 54.7 kilometers per hour.
