Stunt driver drifts to parallel parking world record

CHONGQING, China, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- A Chinese stunt driver broke the Guinness World Record for tightest car parallel parking by drifting into a space with only 3.15 inches to spare.

Han Yue, whose previous record of parallel parking with 5.91 inches to spare was broken by British driver Alastair Moffatt with a 3.4-inch parking job in July 2013, slid the Mini 3-Door Hatch into the tight spot Nov. 14 during the China Drift Championship to retake the record with a parking spot only 3.15 inches longer than his vehicle.

Yue set a second world record during the event at Chongqing Olympic Park for most donuts driven around a car driving on two wheels in one minute. He teamed with stunt driver Zhang Shengjun, who drove a BMW M4 coupe in 10 circles around Han's Mini while it was up on two wheels.
