PHL sets record for motorcycle burnout stunt

The Philippines set another world record on Saturday, this time for the most number of people involved in a motorcycle-related stunt.

Some 300 people took part in a simultaneous motorcycle burnout on Saturday in Tagaytay City, Guinness World Records said.

On its website, it said the largest simultaneous motorcycle burnout is 300 and was achieved by Ropali Motorcycles, Kymco, FDR and History (all Philippines), at the Tagaytay Convention Center Saturday.

"This was part of a series of Guinness World Record attempts made for the fundraising of the National Historic Commission of the Philippines (NHCP)," it added.

Photos of the feat were posted on the Facebook page of MakeHistoryPH, along with those of the record attempt.

A motorcycle burnout involves keeping the motorcycle stationary and spinning its wheels, with the friction causing the tires to smoke.

Last Wednesday, the Philippines set a world record for the largest parade of motorcycles with sidecars in Cauayan City in Isabela. — Joel Locsin/LBG, GMA News
