In a remarkable achievement for the Indian Army, the Army Service Corps (ASC) Motorcycle Display Team, known as the Tornadoes, set new Guinness World Records for three different motorcycle stunts on December 10.
The record-breaking feats were performed to commemorate the 264th Army Service Corps Day.
According to Times of India, Subedar Pradeep SS made history by completing the longest backward motorcycle ride, covering an impressive 361.6 km. This broke the previous record of 306 km held by Sweden's Magus Carlsson. Pradeep maintained the challenging ride from 6.30 am to 4.30 pm, completing 40 km in one hour, thanks to the Enfield Bullet’s fuel efficiency, which averaged 40 km per litre, the report added.
