Pakistani stuntman Sultan Muhammad, popularly known as Sultan Golden, has once again put Pakistan on the global motorsports map by delivering a rare double milestone during a spectacular stunt show in Quetta, Balochistan. The high-profile event saw Golden set two separate world records in a single performance: the fastest one-mile drive in reverse and the longest reverse ramp jump ever attempted.
The stunt show attracted a massive crowd and was attended by senior civil and military officials, underlining its national significance. Among the prominent attendees were Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial governor, and several high-ranking government representatives. The event is being hailed as one of the most prominent stunt-driving showcases ever held in Pakistan.
The first record-breaking feat came when Sultan Golden completed a one-mile drive in reverse in an astonishing 57 seconds. This performance shattered the existing Guinness World Record of 1 minute and 15.18 seconds, which had been set in June 2022 by American stuntman Scot Burner at the NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner had achieved the feat in a 2017 Corvette, improving upon an earlier benchmark of 97.02 seconds.
Golden’s time was faster by an impressive 18 seconds — a huge margin in the highly precise and dangerous world of professional stunt driving. Maintaining control, speed, and accuracy while driving backward at such velocity requires exceptional skill, making the achievement all the more remarkable.
Moments after completing the reverse mile challenge, Golden returned to the track to attempt his second record of the day. This time, he successfully executed a reverse ramp jump that covered a distance of 121.72 feet. The previous record for a long-distance reverse ramp jump stood at 89 feet and 3.25 inches. Golden not only broke the record but surpassed it by a wide margin, drawing thunderous applause from spectators and officials alike.
The daring jump highlighted Golden’s trademark precision and fearlessness, qualities that have defined his career for decades. The back-to-back achievements electrified the crowd and reinforced his reputation as one of the most accomplished stunt drivers in the region.
Sultan Golden hails from Pishin, a district near Quetta, and is widely regarded as a pioneer of advanced stunt techniques involving both motorcars and motorcycles. His history with world records dates back to 1987, when he stunned international audiences by jumping 249 feet over 22 cars — breaking a US-held record of 246 feet.
In later years, Golden introduced reverse motorcar jumping, a highly specialized and risky discipline. In one of his earlier accomplishments, he set a record by clearing 15 cars in reverse over a distance of 150 feet, further cementing his legacy in stunt driving.
Despite the widespread attention and acclaim surrounding the latest achievements, official confirmation from Guinness World Records is still pending. The records have yet to be formally updated on the organization’s platforms, and verification processes are reportedly underway.
Regardless of the final confirmation, Sultan Golden’s Quetta performance has already been celebrated as a historic moment for Pakistani motorsports. Fans and experts alike view the feats as a testament to local talent, resilience, and the growing appetite for extreme sports in the country.
If ratified, the records will mark another major chapter in Sultan Golden’s long and fearless career — and a proud moment for Pakistan on the global stage.
