Joe Chapman has been crowned as the World Gas Pumping champion
Joe Chapman from Peterborough is the winner of the inaugural BonusFinder World Gas Pumping Championships after competing in four-action packed rounds of petrol pumping.
The event was held in London on Wednesday (31.08.22) and was hosted by former F1 driver and TV presenter Karun Chandhok – who presented the Englishman with the Championship title belt, a £500 prize and a replenished tank of petrol.
Chapman took on four other competitors in gruelling challenges including speed pumping, a pound-by-pound challenge and a blindfolded task.
He scored a total of 15 points out of 20 across the challenges.
Chapman said: "I’m ecstatic to have won the first ever World Gas Pumping Championships. When I first heard about the competition, I immediately thought, it’s time to put my pedal to the metal and win that jackpot. I’ve been working on refining my petrol pumping techniques for the past couple of weeks and I’ve also been going to the gym to increase my arm strength, so I’m glad it paid off."
