This week, Porsche announced that 16-year-old racer Chloe Chambers clinched the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Vehicle Slalom. Chambers completed the slalom in just 47.45 seconds in a Porsche 718 Spyder on August 21.
The slalom consisted of 50 cones equally spaced at 50-foot intervals over a 2,500-foot distance.
On Instagram, the teen shared her accomplishment, “This journey tested my mental and physical strength…but the hardest part was returning the keys at the end!”
Chambers isn’t new to the world of racing, despite her young age. The teen began her racing career when she was seven-years-old and has since won multiple national races and championships. Recently, she competed in World Kart Association Grand Nationals in July.
The previous record for Fastest Vehicle Slalom, 48.114 seconds, was set by Jia Qiang in December of 2018.
“It looks easy, but it’s really not — to weave between 50 cones as fast as possible, trying to beat a record time and knowing I couldn’t touch a single one for the run to count — I definitely felt the pressure,” Chambers said in a statement, CNet reports. “Everything came together on my final run; the car worked beautifully and I found the grip I needed. Thank you to my family and to Porsche for supporting and believing in me.”
