The gamers will attempt to beat the current World's Record of 40 hours for gaming in the racing category with the help of Vogel's TwistDock providing non-stop play by keeping their PS3 controllers continuously charged. The Guinness World Record winner will receive a 1,000 Euro prize plus a TwistDock docking station for the PS3.

 

"During this attempt to break the record, it's all about stamina and perseverance. The current gaming Guinness World Record in the racing category is 40 hours," said Albert Zeeman, VP of Innovations, Vogel's and the inspiration for the record breaking attempt. "Of course, we want to beat this record. And we'll find out if we do on July 18th. Exciting!"

 

Vogel's TwistDock - Clean, Stylish & Sexy

 

The Guinness World Records gaming marathon coincides with the introduction of the new essential docking station for the PS3: TwistDock. TwistDock connects, docks, expands, and charges the PS3, keeping cables and controllers organized and neat for a home entertainment center that looks clean, stylish and sexy.
