The man from The Guinness Book of World Records was standing by. The laser-timing gate was in place. The twin engines of my £2500, purpose-built, radio-controlled car were gargling nitro. I was ready for a world speed record attempt. As for whether I was successful, well, you’ll have to ‘find out after the break’ – as I’m bound to secrecy until the ‘RC Car’ challenge goes out on The Gadget Show. What I will say is that when a fifteen-inch car made of aluminium and carbon fibre goes beyond the fifty miles per hour mark, you stop breathing – as the slightest wrong movement can send it airborne. Watch this space.

looks like the fastest rc car at the moment is in the 162mph bracket. That is just awesome if you have beaten that.
