A team of three drivers in a Land Rover Discovery 2 led by adventurer Mac Mackenney set off to attempt to beat the world overland driving record between London to Cape Town, South Africa while raising funds and awareness for the charity Help for Heroes.
The London to Cape Town record attempt is one of the most challenging overland expeditions, driving through some of the most inhospitable areas and difficult road conditions in the world which will test to the extreme both men and machine.
The current record stands at 13 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes set by Eric Jackson in a Ford Cortina GT in 1963. The original record was established back in 1939.
The team left London on Saturday 16th Oct at 21:18 and are currently (after a lengthy border crossing) driving through Jordan. The team’s progress can be viewed on the expedition’s website www.maxadventure.co.uk.
