Picture146 MGs travelled around Rockingham Circuit, but the official number will only count as 144.
Cavalcade of classics celebrates at Rockingham – despite two being discounted for not keeping up!



An impressive convoy of 146 cars drove around Rockingham’s oval circuit in order to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest parade ofMGs.
Officially, the world record will be 144 cars – as two MGs were discounted from the attempt as they were over the maximum distance of two car lengths between vehicles. The record was set on 11 April at Corby’s Rockingham Circuit and was organised by Lancaster Insurance and the MG Owners’ Club. 
Lancaster’s managing director Richard Morley, who helped lead the parade in a race-prepared MGF said: ‘We’re so thrilled with how it went. When we first got to the track it was raining and miserable, but luckily the sun came out and so did the cars.’
Martin Wills, who drove a race-prepared MG ZR, added: ‘I thought it’d be quite naff but it’s turned out utterly brilliant. Seeing all the MGs snaked around the Rockingham oval was brilliant.’
Sam Mason, official adjudicator for Guinness World Records, said: ‘This is the first record attempt of its kind, meaning there only needed to be more than 100 cars, all driving within two car lengths of each other. There were 146 at Rockingham but we had to discount two because they weren’t close enough, so the official record now stands at 144.

MG Dynamo electric car revealed

MG Dynamo concept to move brand away from classic car imageMG is attempting to shrug off its classic car image with the Dynamo electric concept. It’s a preview into the brand’s potential future plans and also marks MG’s 90th anniversary.

Unveiled at a private event in London last week, the Dynamo has been developed in order to fully understand European market demand for a small electric MG and previews the latest design and technology from the manufacturer. If the concept is well received and feedback is positive, MG will consider putting the Dynamo into production.

Although the Dynamo points MG in a whole new direction, the model is actually based on an existing car from sister company Roewe. Under the skin is a revised version of the Roewe E50 electric vehicle sold exclusively in China – both MG and Roewe are owned by SAIC Motor.

The Dynamo measures in at 3569mm long, slightly larger than a Volkswagen e-up! but is around 59kg lighter weighing 1080kg. Performance figures announced so far reveal the Dynamo will use a 71bhp electric motor developing 155Nm of torque, enough it to get from 0-31mph in 5.3 seconds. That puts it a yard or two behind what would be its key rivals and the 50 mile range on a single charge also falls short of claimed 90 miles offered by the e-up!

A full charge for the Dynamo is said to take up to six hours from a standard power source but an 80 per cent charge can be achieved from a rapid charging point.
Later in the year Auto Express will be getting behind the wheel of the Dynamo, highlighting MG’s potential plans for mass-production. We also understand a more comprehensive charging infrastructure and dealer network would need to be introduced before MG pushed ahead with production.
