A trash can with wheels that runs while raising the engine noise. It's not being pushed by something or being towed by a rope, it's just self-propelled.
A male driver who was convinced of breaking the record came down from the trash can and decided on a guts pose. The man is Andy Jennings, a 28-year-old design engineer who lives in York with his fiancé Emma.
For this day, Jennings has built a trash can with a small bike engine, gearbox, ignition and bike seats, and has been preparing for it on a road near his home.
According to British news media SWNS, Jennings set a record of 45.35 miles per hour (about 73 km / h) on the day's run. This is a new record that far exceeds the world's fastest trash can record of 30 miles per hour (about 48.2 km / h).
In an interview, Jennings, who broke the Guinness record, said in an interview, 'Today was a wonderful day in everything. I am very happy that I set a new self-record at 45.35 mph, well above my goal of 30 mph. When I arrived at the end of the runway and looked back, I was very happy when I saw the audience cheering me on. '
Jennings got into the race in memory of his best friend Ben Ellis, who died in June 2020. Ellis said she died after falling into a coma for two years due to a blood clot in her brain. By the time Jennings visited, Ellis was already unable to speak or move.
Jennings, who challenged the Guinness World Records for friendship, said, 'Ben will surely be proud of my achievements, and once he achieves the Guinness World Records, the audience will immediately be for Ben's family. He asked me how to donate to the fundraising that was launched. That's really good. '
In addition to Mr. Jennings, the world's fastest motor toilet and the world's fastest garden hut also entered the tournament, setting records of 44.6 mph (about 72 km / h) and 106.1 mph (about 170 km / h), respectively. thing.

Trevor Duckworth, CEO of Straightliners and chief timekeeper of the tournament, told the British newspaper Metro that 'people are pretty crazy races like trash cans, toilets, garden sheds and hand-held unicycles. I came up with the idea, but I held this tournament to make it happen. '
In addition, Mr. Duckworth commented on the success of the tournament, 'This event was a difficult situation because of the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection, but it was really successful. All the spectators who came covered their faces. And the disinfection stations around the airfield are also used. I think everyone enjoyed it because I was able to go out of the house and do something different than usual. '
