A flat tyre most certainly dampens your day and if you try to change the tyre in hot weather conditions of today, well, it just adds to your misery. But changing a tyre takes some time, even if you take it to a repair shop. On an average you spend atleast 20 to 30 minutes trying to get the tyre fixed and back on the car. If it's just a quick change then about 15 minutes but there's a team in Germany who can change all four within a minute.
German auto parts and repair company, kfzteile24, has set a new Guinness World record for completing the fastest tyre change without using any power tools. The team, which consisted of four mechanics, changed the tyres of a Ford Focus in a matter of 59.62 seconds beating the previous record of 1 minute and 23.85 seconds.

This meant that they were 24.23 seconds quicker. As you can see in the video, it's sheer team work that made this attempt a successful one. One can only imagine about the kind of preparation that would have gone into it. Well, you've seen F1 pit stops and that happens in a matter of 2 seconds but this one is still special. Watch it to believe it.
