The Stig breaks world record in Matt LeBlanc-modified tractor on Top Gear
The driver took the Guinness World Record for Fastest Tractor.
Top Gear’s mysterious high-speed racer The Stig has set a new world record in a uniquely modified high-speed tractor.
The driver took the Guinness World Record for Fastest Tractor with a speed of 87.2mph after presenter Matt LeBlanc attempted to revolutionise British agriculture by modifying the farming vehicle.
LeBlanc and Chris Harris will also attempt to break the world record, with viewers kept in the dark over their result until the latest episode on Sunday night.
“The theme of this week’s film is that tractors are blocking up Britain. When you get stuck behind one, you can’t go anywhere. So we’re trying to speed up farming.
“When Lewis Hamilton retires, this is what he’ll be driving.”
– Top Gear airs at 8pm on BBC Two on Sunday night.
