Not unlike the Aurora Concours event in Sweden that combined timeless classics with supercars.
Back to Gumball 3000 and, for those who don’t know, it’s a lifestyle brand that was founded in 1999 by British entrepreneur, Maximillion Cooper.
The brand is best known for the annual Gumball 3000 Rally, a popular event among car lovers worldwide.
Over the years, the company has become famous for organizing unique and thrilling car events like this one.
Fans were thrilled to see this new achievement by Gumball 3000.
How people reacted to the record-breaking achievement
The Instagram post received a lot of attention, with many users sharing their excitement. One user wrote, “Wow! I did not see this one coming!”
Another expressed: “Thank you for coming and welcome again.”
However, some people had questions about the cars featured at the event.
One user commented, “G wagon, Cullinan & an Escalade are supercars now?? Congrats on the record regardless.”
This event adds to the list of bizarre car records – previously, a Formula E driver set the Guinness World Record for the fastest speed indoors.
Similarly, a solar-powered car broke the world record for the longest trip on a single charge.
Gumball 3000’s latest achievement at Angkor Wat was definitely one for the history books.
