Quebec – October 19, 2026 -- Diego Poncelet Sanchez-Cuenca has ridden a downhill skateboard at 94.34 mph (151.83 km/h), making the 27-year-old from Spain and Switzerland the fastest downhill skateboarder in history. The run took place on Route du Port in Les Éboulements, Quebec, on the same slope where the previous Guinness World Record was set nine years ago.

Poncelet beat a 2017 mark of 91.17 mph

On the afternoon of Sept. 22, with a Guinness judge watching, the two-time World Champion passed the 2017 record of 91.17 mph (143.73 km/h). That mark belonged to his late friend Pete Connolly of England, who also rode on Seismic Skate Systems wheels. Red Bull filmed the run and published the video on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube on Oct. 15, 2026.

Many elite downhill skaters had considered 150 km/h out of reach. Guinness World Records adjudicator Andrew Glass called the run "one of the most impressive feats I have ever seen."

London – September 19, 2026 -- Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen passed all 100 rival karts in Red Bull's Max vs 100, the largest go-kart race ever staged, finishing the job on lap 14 of 30 at Silverstone.

Verstappen started 101st on a grid built specifically for the event and cleared the entire field in 35 minutes. The race streamed live on Disney+ and the ESPN App.

A single overtaking rule decided every elimination

A driver was eliminated the instant the rear of Verstappen's kart drew level with the front of theirs. The 100-strong field included Red Bull athletes, content creators, streamers, journalists and fans selected from around the world, racing on a temporary circuit at Silverstone designed by Race Director David Terrien.

Amsterdam – September 17, 2026 -- Royal Philips has partnered with Red Bull and athlete Marco Waltenspiel to complete what the companies call a world's first: a wingsuit slalom flown between seven hot-air balloons above Cappadocia, Turkey.

Waltenspiel jumped from 2,800 meters and hit speeds up to 200 km/h

Known for his distinctive moustache, Waltenspiel navigated the balloon-filled skyline at varying heights, adjusting his path in split-second decisions as wind conditions shifted. Fellow Red Bull athlete Marco Fürst flew alongside him to film the flight from the air.
