Twelve24 team sets new Malaysia Book of Records entry for longest non-stop drive – 1,660 km in 22 hours

A four-driver team calling themselves Twelve24 has entered the Malaysia Book of Records for the longest non-stop drive. Armed with an FK8 Honda Civic Type R, a BP Mazda 3, an XE30 Lexus IS300 F Sport and a G20 BMW 330i, the team left the Petronas Twin Towers on May 11 at 6.15am and proceeded to traverse all 12 Peninsular Malaysian states without any overnight stops.

The drive concluded at 4.34am the next day, at which point the convoy had covered 1,660 km in 22 hours and 19 minutes (now, can you guess what Twelve24 connotes?). Executed under strict time and operational parameters, the journey only saw brief stops for fuel, toilet breaks, quick meals and short rests.

Each car was GPS-tracked in real time, with comprehensive timestamps and route data logged, supported by uninterrupted video footage for official verification.

While I love a long drive as much as the next person, for me, this would definitely be biting off far more than I can chew, and I can imagine the levels of discipline, endurance and perseverance required for such a feat. Syabas, chaps! If you were doing this, which one of those four machines would you most prefer to pilot?

    why has it to be 4 cars? why not 4 drivers in one car and drive non stop for the next 24 hours breaking the longest distance in a car ride.

      because then it wouldnt be that level of difficulty nor impressive. as you yourself said 4 drivers in one car is much easier than 4 drivers each driving their own car.

    • a) too much time
      b) too much money
      c) angling for sponsorhip
      d) syiok sendiri
      e) all of the above

    Turn on Autopilot and sleep in the car, wakeup just before reaching destination. Get your ‘record’ cert and publicity. So where is the difficulty? Oh yea trying to fake tire.

    Wait, this was set back in May 11? Why is this news delayed by a whole 4 months?

      They need to wait to see no other idiots will try to break that record and apparently nobody was that stupid to even bother trying, so in default they winrar that title and cert.

      What do you expect? Do all world records benefit their nation? If you dare, show your talent and break it.

      To show PMX & Rafizi is wrong and that we still have enough petrol to set meaningless achievement.

    Riding a kapchai in extremely heavy rain for 12km or about 30mins beats this record any day. Done that few times and when i reached my destination, the feeling is like hearing the PM announce fuel price will be RM1.50 the next day.
    The demand on mental and physical energy for riding in such situation is out of this world.

    No doubt this record is an achievement and some will use this as an example of pushing yourself to meet your goal. No offence but at the end of the day its pointless.

    I think I did more than 24 hours back when I was younger and working in sales travelling across multiple states. Didn’t think it was worthy of any records lol..

  • Congrats well done guys. All 4 vehicles are fantastic, hard choice to choose but probably I’ll go with the IS300 for long distance comfort.
