Toy Cars, How Far Can They Go? ... Two American Women Challenge 800km

'World's First' Guinness Record Challenge

Two women living in Florida, USA, are attempting a long-distance drive of 500 miles (approximately 806 km) in a 'toy sports car.' If successful, it will be the longest distance traveled in a toy vehicle worldwide and will be recorded in the Guinness World Records.

On the 20th (local time), Guinness reported that American women Cathy and Lauren are preparing for a 'Florida coastal tour' using a toy vehicle. The two have already revealed the vehicle they will be driving through social media platforms such as TikTok.

The car they chose is a small mobile toy resembling a sports car. It is just large enough for one adult woman to fit inside, and they plan to drive 800 km with only the driver and a backpack inside. The route starts from Jacksonville, Florida, and follows the coastline to the southern city of Key West. Traveling by toy car will take as long as two months.

Currently, there is no category related to toy car travel in the Guinness World Records. The two women have requested the establishment of a new category for 'the longest distance traveled in a toy car worldwide,' and if their journey succeeds, they will become the first challengers to be listed in this category.

Lauren said, "We have had toy cars since we were kids. (The long-distance toy car trip) came from a kind of ridiculous idea rooted in our childhood." She added, "We used to ride toy cars as children and always wanted to challenge a Guinness World Record, so we think this trip is a great way to honor our memories."

However, this challenge is not just for fun. Cathy and Lauren also plan to engage in fundraising activities for several charities. The raised funds will be donated to wildlife rescue organizations such as Nepal's Red Panda Network, Costa Rica's Animal Rescue Center, Save a Fox Rescue in Minnesota, USA, and Wild Bird Sanctuary in Missouri.
