We are working with Straightliners which organises a programme of 50 unusual motorsports events, including Guinness World Records, taking place around the UK in 2022. The vehicles that take part in these events include UK, Europe and Guinness World Records holders including the roadworthy coin-operated 'Postman Pat Van', a steam powered motorbike, a rocket car and the new custom built high powered motorbike of the world's fastest woman

Without doubt one of the most unusual is the sustainable speed machine 'Force of Nature' a steam powered '"rocket" motorcycle. It was designed, built and ridden by Graham Sykes (58) from who runs Performance Engineering Ltd in Yorkshire, England. In tests it did 121mph in 2.5 seconds and it has been a nine year labour of love by Graham to perfect this rare technology involving over £70,000.00 investment.

Straightliners run Europe's largest Guinness World Record speed events. These events attract participants from France, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, USA and across the UK. The events are hosted by Straightliners which are so successful with world record breakers that the most recent Guinness Book of records devoted two full pages to its events.
