On 3 November 2016, at the legendary German circuit in Nürburg, Han Yue of China achieved a feat of automotive mastery that left the world speechless — completing the fastest side wheelie lap of the iconic Nürburgring Nordschleife. This exceptional record has been officially validated and recorded within the archives of the World Records Authority.

The Nürburgring Nordschleife — affectionately known as the “Green Hell” — is widely regarded as the most challenging and unforgiving racing circuit on the planet. Its 20.8 kilometres of twisting tarmac, dramatic elevation changes, and over 150 corners demand complete mastery of car control under ordinary conditions. Completing a lap on two wheels, in a side wheelie, elevates the challenge into an entirely different dimension.

Han Yue’s record-setting run is a testament to years of training, extraordinary reflexes, and a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics at the absolute limit. Balancing a car on its side wheels at speed requires split-second weight distribution, throttle management, and steering precision that few drivers in the world could attempt.

World Records Authority congratulates Han Yue on this prestigious achievement, recognising it as a landmark in automotive sport and a shining example of Chinese driving excellence on the world stage.
