We want to inspire you to become a legend. As well as the thousands of record applications we get every year (all of which have to meet strict criteria to become a record and be approved), there are also many new categories created by our Records Management Team to keep up with changing technology, fashions and social trends.

We are hoping for someone who is ready to step up and become legendary, so why not see what record you could break?
 

1. Deepest depth driven by a car underwater

 
James Bond’s Lotus famously transformed into a sub aqua vehicle, but with this attempt you are free to modify any car you like. Minimum requirement is 10 m (32 ft 9 in).
 

2. Farthest distance flight by helium balloons

 
Here’s your chance to recreate the scene from Pixar’s film ‘Up’ – where they used domestic balloons in a net to move a house. Thankfully you don’t need to take the house to get this record. Minimum requirement is 402.34 km (250 miles).
