Is it just us, or is record-making something of a fad right now?
Volvo was at it last month and there’s a Mini world record attempt planned for the summer.
And now Mazda is joining the most-ever-models-in-one-place-record-attempt party. Still, it’s all good fun – and, in fact, the aim is to break two records.
It’s all happening at the MX-5 Owners’ Club Spring Rally this Sunday (28 April) at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire.
The two Guinness World Records being targeted are the largest number of Mazda cars in a parade formation, which currently stands at 683, and the largest parade of convertibles, a record of 270 that’s already held by the Club.
As 2019 is the MX-5’s 30th anniversary, you don’t have to be a member of the Club to take part – it’s free for all.
And while the Club is, perhaps predictably, keen for the majority of participants to be in MX-5s, any Mazda is welcome for the first attempt; non-MX-5s will then be guided away for the convertible record attempt.
If you want to join in, you’ll need to register on the day, but to save time you can download a registration form here, fill it in and take it along on Sunday.
