Super-Fast Go-Kart

05-10-2021 15:00

A 26-year-old Englishman won a Guinness World Record for the fastest go-kart, as it is propelled by a jet engine and reached 180,71 kilometres per hour.

The go-kart took him 12 months to complete. The creator, Tom, said that things were catching fire or blowing up as he worked on it.

Difficult words: go-kart (a small racing car), propel (push forward), jet engine (a type of engine which people put into aeroplanes, not cars usually).
