World
Records for Most Persons in a Car
OFFICIAL RECORD LIST BY THE REKORD-KLUB SAXONIA
Rules
(If you want to break a record that is published in a record
book or governed by an international authorithy, there may be other or
additional rules. See here for more
information.)
The car and bus cramming records are all subject to the following
rules:
- The vehicle must be a standard production model.
- No seats, fitments and such shall be removed.
- All windows, doors, boot and bonnet must be closed on
competition.
- The time limit to achieve the record must be no more than 10
minutes.
- The vehicle's engine must be started on completion of the cram.
- The team members must be at least 16 years old.
Because of the vast number of makes of vehicles on the road today,
the
number of car cramming records in this list should be reduced to a few
cars only. If you want to set a record, please prefer to beat a record
that is in our list. However, we will expand the list if there are
interesting
new claims for well-known cars.
(Note: The rules used by Guinness World Records differ from the above
rules.
In particular, Guinness requires a minimum age of 18 years and no
person
who is less than 1.525 m [5ft] may participate.]
