The Thrill of the Challenge

Double Dakar Rally champion Sam Sunderland is about to turn the world upside down – literally. On Thursday of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, he unveiled his ambitious plan to break the world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the planet on a motorcycle. But this isn’t just any adventure; it’s a high-octane madness fueled by Red Bull and Triumph Motorcycles, riding his snazzy new Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer with a vibrant Red Bull livery.

Sam Sunderlands Epic Journey Chasing Records Around the Globe

The Impossible Race

Sunderland’s mission, should he choose to accept it (spoiler alert: he already has), involves traversing a whopping 18,000 miles through 15 countries across 5 continents. He aims to shatter the existing record of 19 days, 8 hours, and 25 minutes set by the legendary Kevin and Julia Sanders way back in 2002. Talk about following in the footsteps of giants!

Facing the Odds with Humor

Now, here’s the kicker: Sunderland is not just vying against the clock but also grappling with his inner self. In his words, “I honestly see the biggest challenge as being myself.” Imagine that! Along the way, he plans to camp amongst kangaroos in the Australian outback and endure some serious neck and shoulder strain while battling against the relentless wind. How’s that for multitasking?

As Sunderland preps to leave from England in September, he’s set to become a modern-day Indiana Jones, but with less treasure hunting and more bike riding. The triumph of spirit, endurance, and perhaps a few humorous camping anecdotes could lead to a new chapter in the world of motorbike records. Stay tuned as this epic saga unfolds!
