There are some records that you wouldn't even think existed were it not for great marketing from those that are trying to set it.

One of those records is the recent one set by MINI->ke57 earlier this month; you remember that as the parallel parking record they attempted to promote the special edition Chinese Job MINI Cooper->ke629. Well, despite their penchant for quirkiness, attempting to set the record was no small feat - even with a professional driver like Han Yue behind the wheel.

In this video, MINI takes us on a behind-the-scenes look on the preparations and hours of practice that went behind the attempts. In the end, Yue managed to squeeze in his MINI with only 5.9" of real estate separating the MINI from hitting the cars.

Check out the video and see how everything went down; it's certainly worth your time to see how somebody is capable of doing something as cool as that when a lot of us can't even grasp the concept of parallel parking.
