The drive took place in June, but Guinness has officially recognized the record only now. Record attempt took place in 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Burner told Fox News that his technique is simple: He turns around with his right hand on the passenger seat and steers with his left. The rear window is his only view onto the track ahead, which can be disorienting at first, but Burner says he's been at it since 2000, giving him plenty of time to practice.
Scot Burner is now interested in breaking the outright reverse top speed record of 103 mph (165 km/h) that has been standing since 2002. Most cars can't go this fast in reverse, so he will have to make some modifications to his vehicle.
