For the record attempt Mauro used part of the Handling Circuit at Mercedes-Benz World. Using a large circle of tarmac it took almost eight laps to secure a place in the history books.
The Handling Circuit is familiar territory for Calo; who frequently entertains crowds with precision driving as part of the Silver Arrows display team.
Commenting on the record the Commercial Operations Director of Mercedes-Benz Cars said: "When Mauro approached us to hold his record breaking attempt on the circuit at Mercedes-Benz World we were happy to offer him the support. He has been a valuable member of the driving experience team for several years and is a respected driver in the industry, so there was no doubt he would achieve his aim".
