Gerhard Plattner, the driving specialist, who covered well over 3,044 miles (4,900 km) in three days, is preparing for his next attempt at breaking a record of being the first driver to reach three continents in three days maximum.



The plan is to depart from Rabat, Morocco on June 8 in an Audi A3 1.9 TDI e with co-driver Franz Doppler to reach the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey within 72 hours. Plattner has already gone around the world seven times in his attempt to set new world records. The latest challenge will test the team’s endurance as well as their driving abilities and physical wellness together with the reliability of the Audi A3 they will be utilizing in this endeavor. The trip will begin at the royal mausoleum in Rabat in June 8, then getting across to Tarifa in Spain on a high-speed ferry. Both drivers will thereafter drive along the Mediterranean coast of Spain, France and Italy.
