Under the supervision of an official Guinness World Records [GWR] adjudicator, German driver Ronny Wechselberger, also known as “Ronny C-Rock” (be careful with the spelling here…), set a new record earlier this year for the world’s tightest parallel parking.

Mr. C-Rock was able to slide his VW Polo with the help of the handbrake into a parking space measuring just 26 cm’s (10.24 inches) longer than that of his vehicle. Even though the record was set in April 2, 2011, the Guinness World Records officials released the video today.

However, Wechselberger’s record breaking feat didn’t last long as on July 21, Chinese driver Zhang Hua managed to squeeze a car into a space just 24cm longer than that of his vehicle. GWR said it will release the new video later in the year.
