Performance in which a 1:76 scale model coach was pushed around the entire perimeter of Nottingham’s Old Market Square. The estimated speed of travel and the time taken was used to calculate a highly speculative figure for the total distance covered.


time taken = 13 min 57 sec (857 s)

estimated speed (scaled-up by 1:76) = 80 km/h
actual speed = 1.053 km/h (0.29 m/s)

distance = velocity x time
= 857 x 0.29
= 244 m
