    1978 World Record

    On Thursday 19 October 1978, Jackie Wilson drove a Formula One circuit powerboat on Lake Windemere in northern England at one hundred and twenty-two point nine miles an hour (196.78 kph) to set a new world record.

    Wilson was after the record of one hundred and twenty-one point four five miles an hour (194.32 kph) his friend and great rival, Alf Bullen, had set earlier in this Windemere Record Week.
