QUETTA (Kashmir English): Pakistan’s renowned stuntman and world record holder, Sultan Muhammad Golden set two new world records during a stunt show here on Saturday.
In a rare motorsport spectacle, Sultan set a new world record by finishing a one-mile reverse drive in just 57 seconds in Quetta, Balochistan.
Golden smashes previous reverse drive record
An American stuntman had covered the same distance in one minute and 15 seconds in 2022 to set a world record.
The record-breaking stunt driving drew loud applause from spectators, with the timing the fastest ever recorded for a long-distance reverse drive.
Sultan Golden, who belongs to the district Pishin, Pakistan, however, didn’t stop there and soon returned to the track to attempt another world record.
He then successfully performed a reverse ramp jump over a distance of 121.72 feet, establishing another world record.
The previous record for a long-distance reverse ramp jump stood at 89 feet and 3.25 inches, which Golden surpassed comfortably, to earn cheers and praise from fans present at the track.
Balochistan Chief Minister Sardar Sarfaraz Bugti and the Governor later met Sultan after he set two new world records.
The political leaders congratulated the stuntman on achieving the feat during the show.
The event was attended by Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial governor, and several civil and military officials, marking one of the most prominent stunt-driving events held in the South Asian country in recent years.
Sultan Golden is widely recognised for his expertise in motorcar and motorcycle stunts.
In 1987, he made history by jumping 249 feet over 22 cars, exceeding a US-held record of 246 feet.
He later introduced reverse motorcar jumping, previously setting a record by clearing 15 cars over 150 feet.
