Sultan Golden breaks reverse driving and ramp jump world records in Pakistan
One-mile reverse drive and ramp jump records achieved in single appearance
DUBAI/QUETTA – Pakistani stuntman Sultan Muhammad Golden has delivered a rare double milestone in motorsports, setting two world records during a high-profile stunt show in Quetta, Balochistan.
The feats included the fastest one-mile drive in reverse and the longest reverse ramp jump ever recorded, drawing large crowds and senior government officials to the event.
It 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.
Reverse driving record
Golden completed a one-mile drive in reverse in just 57 seconds, establishing a new global benchmark. The previous Guinness World Record stood at 1 minute and 15.18 seconds, set in June 2022 by American stuntman Scot Burner at the NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner achieved the record in a 2017 Corvette, surpassing an earlier mark of 97.02 seconds. Golden’s performance reduced that time by 18 seconds, a significant margin in professional stunt driving.
Ramp jump record
Shortly after the reverse drive, Golden returned to the track to attempt a second record. He successfully executed a reverse ramp jump covering a distance of 121.72 feet. The earlier record for a long-distance reverse ramp jump stood at 89 feet and 3.25 inches, which was surpassed comfortably during the Quetta performance, drawing loud applause from spectators and organisers.
Who is Sultan Golden?
A native of Pishin near Quetta, Sultan Golden is widely recognised for his expertise in motorcar and motorcycle stunts. In 1987, he set a world record 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.
Is it official yet?
While the latest achievements have gained widespread attention, official confirmation from Guinness World Records is still awaited, with the records yet to be updated on the organisation’s platforms.
