On Saturday July 12th 2008, the UK based organisation for EVO owners and enthusiasts, the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR) created a new World Record for the largest ever parade of EVOs. Despite the fact that less EVOs showed up than initially expected, the 273 Lancer Evolution cars that congregated in the paddock of the Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire, England, were enough to earn them place in the Guinness Book of World Records. -Continued

But it wasn’t only about creating a new World Record as thanks to the generosity of the MLR members and Mitsubishi Motors UK who supported the event, the organizers also managed to raise £7,459.27 ($15,000 or €9,400) for the Richard Burns Foundation.

    There's a Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Lancer EVOs??? Is there a record for any make and model car? How about a record for the largest parade of diesel Corolla station wagons? Are Guinness World Records now being conjured up just so that it can be achieved at a planned event?

    I used to have a high respect for Guiness World Records, but I notice you can just about get anything to be a world record as long as it's never been done before. So, skies the limit people!
