The record was set on June 15, 2022, by Scot Burner at NCM Motorsports Park, the racetrack attached to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner drove a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with a manual transmission. He used a manual because its speed in reverse isn’t governed, and instead maxes out when the engine reaches its maximum revolutions per minute. Automatic cars are speed-governed in reverse. Burner has a YouTube channel called Always in Reverse where he drives various cars in reverse to see how fast they’ll go. He averaged 52.1 mph during his record run. In a Corvette video he made last November driving the same car, he hit 54 mph in reverse on a public road. According to the entry for the record on the Guinness World Records website, Burner realized he could break the record after noticing the previous record was a time he had already unofficially beaten. One of his videos shows him hitting a slightly faster top speed of 56 mph—in a Kia Sorento. At least one other driver has gone faster in reverse without officially claiming the fastest-mile record. Then Audi Formula E driver Daniel Act hit 130 mph in Schaeffler Group’s electric Audi RS 3 touring car in 2018, but apparently, no one timed him over a mile. It’s possible to go too fast in reverse, at least as far as safety regulators are concerned. In 2017, the Mercedes-AMG G65 was recalled because the software that limited top speed in reverse wasn’t properly calibrated, potentially allowing vehicles to exceed the 16 mph deemed safe. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.5-liter V-12, the G65 was capable of a claimed 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds while going forward, so it was probably a good idea to rein it in while backing up.

What happens if you drive in too high a gear, you will stress the engine and hear an obnoxious noise. If you shift into a gear that is too high for the speed you’re traveling, it will stress the engine. The crankshaft will be strained while trying to force the engine to work harder. All of this leads to no benefit for you. Unlike automatic vehicles, which mostly shift for you, you are responsible for shifting gears in a manual car. The best strategy for appropriate shifting is to listen to the vehicle for a telltale thrum between RPMs. You can also train yourself to look at the tachometer, aka the RPM gauge. Try to stay in a gear where the RPMs are between 1,500 and 3,000. Otherwise, you should upshift or downshift. Note that it can be equally damaging to drive in too low a gear. In this situation, the engine will rev and you’ll cause unnecessary wear and tear, not to mention the extra fuel you’ll burn. Regular maintenance is the best way to keep a car in great shape. But a good car insurance policy is equally important, for unpredictable accidents and breakdowns. Young drivers often struggle to find affordable coverage.
