World Records for Most Persons in a Car
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.]
