A county's "nice smooth flat" roads helped an electric car set a record.
In July, the Polestar 3 broke the Guinness World Record for the longest journey by a production battery-powered electric SUV on a single charge.
The journey lasted 22 hours and 57 minutes and the car covered 581.3 miles (935.44km) going between 30mph (48 km/h) and 40mph (64 km/h).
Team member Sam Clarke said: "We started early in the morning on nice smooth flat roads in the Norfolk area of the UK where we can get the greatest amount of efficiency on reasonably low speed roads and try and be as efficient as we can."
The previous record, set in July 2024, was achieved in a Ford Mustang Mach-E, which covered 569.64 miles.
The team, which also included Kevin Booker and Richard Parker, holds seven Guinness World Records for ultra-efficient driving.
Mr Clarke has been driving electric vehicles for more than 20 years and said he knew how to get the most out of them.
He said the records were set in "real world conditions on normal roads in the UK".
The team, he added, wanted to "make sure we are pushing the limits wherever we can, so flat terrain and warm climates - which is why we do it in the summer".
The car is not allowed to drive on the same road twice.
There were two people on board - a driver and a navigator.
Another challenge was road closures.
Mr Clarke said: "There's an area called Melton Mowbray... we were attempting to drive through seamlessly at about midnight - only to find out there was a cycle race happening the next day and all the roads were shut."
