Guinness World Record: Bartosz Ostalowski succeeds in a spectacular drift
With 1,000 hp BMW drifts to the world record
The venue for the successful world record attempt was Piła airfield in Poland. It has a two-kilometre-long and 60-metre-wide runway, which allows for high speeds and ensures safe conditions. High-precision measuring devices were used to record the speed and the angle of inclination – after all, the spectacular drift had to be documented beyond doubt. But, of course, Bartosz Ostalowski not only needed a suitable stretch for his project, but also a suitable vehicle. Under the bonnet of his BMW called "Fury" is a powerful seven-litre LS3 twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 1,000 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,280 Nm. It uses a ZF 8HP90 automatic transmission with individual control.
HELLA supported the world record project
HELLA was one of the companies supporting Bartosz Ostalowski in implementing his project. "Seeing the record attempt live was incredibly impressive because I didn't expect such high speeds. It's pure madness! Here Bartosz convinces us that 'normality' is overrated and that it pays to swim against the tide," says Marcin Rozner, Product Marketing Manager at HELLA Poland.
