Driver Jake Hughes sets a new Guinness World Record title for the fastest speeds set indoors by a vehicle this past Sunday 7-23-2023. He did so in Formula E's new, GENBETA modification to the 3rd Generation race car. Jake Hughes set a blistering world record for indoor speed of 135.9 mph (218.71 kph) with his NEOM McLaren Formula E 3rd gen race car while competing against rival Lucas de Grassi of Mahindra Racing in London this past weekend while qualifying. The pair went head-to-head in the "duels" Formula E qualifying format to see who could break that top speed record. Hughes absolutely smashed the previous record and they did so on a small, 346m long straight part of the track using the same car. The previous record of 102.65 mph (165.2 kph) was smashed by just over 33 mph (over 50 kph). “Driving the GENBETA car and setting the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors was a really special experience. I feel very honored to have been asked and to be involved in such an exciting project. It wasn’t something I ever imagined I’d have the opportunity to even attempt, so now to hold the record is pretty incredible, especially in a Formula E car. I didn’t realize how much I wanted this record until I saw Lucas [Di Grassi] trying to break the record after me. When I was announced I was the record holder I felt a massive sense of pride.” - World Record holding driver Jake Hughes. “Huge congratulations to Jake and big thanks to Lucas for competing together to smash a world record and showcase the incredible potential of EVs. Everyone involved in the GENBETA project is driven by the same goal of pioneering innovation and development in EV technology and bringing that game-changing tech to the cars we drive on city streets to create a cleaner, electric future.” - Jeff Dodds, Formula E CEO By: Tom Luttermoser

Tom Luttermoser"Being a NASCAR fan since the mid-90s, I've seen my sport go through immense changes, from Earnhardt to Gordon, Gordon to Johnson, Johnson to the "Big 3". Petty's 200 to Busch's 229*. I've seen 2 generations of racers and 4 generations of racecars. I've seen the peak of the sport, I've seen the loss of a legend. I can, in fact say.. This is the greatest time our sport has seen since its golden era and it will do nothing but grow from here. We talk about the Golden Era, The Modern Era. I think, We're entering the NEXT GEN Era."
