New world record set for people in a Mini

A team of 28 gym girls have set a new Guinness World Record by squeezing into a Mini.

A team of 28 UK gym girls have set a new Guinness World Record by squeezing into a Mini.

The group have set an official record for the Most People Crammed into a Mini to celebrate Guinness World Records Day near London's Tower Bridge.

Speaking before the event, organiser Dani Maynard revealed the girls had been doing extra training sessions in a bid to set the record.

She said: "While we have not quite been able to fit any of the girls into the Mini’s glove box, there is a surprising amount of space to utilise and we are really confident that we will break the record again this year.

"After our achievement last year, we know exactly what it takes to squeeze 28 people into a Mini and we stepped up our training regime to include extra stretching and fun activities like hula-hoop relay racing."
