Mazda MX-5 sets new world record

Mazda was able to set a new entry in the Guinness Book of World Records during the big MAX-5 2103 event on 15 June in Lelystad, Netherlands when a total of 683 MX-5s joined the procession on the roads around the RDW Test Centre at Lelystad forming the longest parade of driving Mazdas ever, writes Trish Whelan.

Some 1,450 participants contributed to the successful record attempt, shattering the existing record for the 'largest parade of Mazda cars' - 459 Mazda MX-5s - set in Essen, Germany in 2010.
