The JCB Fastrac - with, er, a few modifications - has been crowned the world's fastest tractor. 

Its driver, former bike racer and speed addict Guy Martin, took the Fastrac to a world record speed of 135.191mph, with a peak speed of 153.771mph, in 2019.

Now, for Autocar's famous Christmas Road Test, we not only bring you a full walkaround and technical specification of the JCB Fastrac, but we drive it flat out too.

Matt Prior pulls on his race suit and helmet for the last time in 2019 to bring you one of the more unusual high-speed runs featured on the Autocar YouTube channel.
