A year ago, Jessi Combs crashed while trying to set a world record. Now she is immortalized for her new speed record.
Jessi Combs raced to her death in 2019 at 841 km / h. The racing driver wanted to set a new speed record in the US Alvord Desert with a rocket vehicle. She still set the best mark. In the subsequent accident, the 39-year-old was killed.
Posthumously, the former TV presenter of the “Mythbusters” series now receives an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. At 841 km / h, it exceeded the previous world record by 16 km / h.
Stunt woman Kitty O’Neil set the original record back in 1976. As of now, Jessi Combs is officially the fastest woman in the world. However, she could no longer experience her success.
Her husband Terry Madden wrote in an emotional statement that no record was worth living for.
