At the time, the world seaplane speed record was 440.7 mph (709.2 km/h), set by a Macchi M.C.72 in October 1934. But the path towards the top proved occasionally steep, and it was not until the millennium year that he reached a century of wins for the first time, though he has since achieved the landmark 11 times, In all Hughes has won more than 170 races on the notoriously tricky Goodwood contours, a third of them at the Glorious Goodwood festival.
[2]:133–134 When his compatriots arrived at the crash site Hughes said "We can fix her; she'll go faster." No matter what sport it is the mental strain that people go through can be to much to cope with. King Richard III: Hughes was Flat racing champion jockey in 2012, 2013 and 2014. However, he recovered fairly quickly and commenced ‘business as usual’ with his brother-in-law Richard Hannon Jnr.
It's perhaps not the biggest surprise that Hughes nominates curry and spicy foods in general as his favourites: they help him to sweat and keep his weight under control.

His average speed over the flight was 322 miles per hour (518 km/h). On January 19, 1937, a year and a half after his previous landplane speed record in the H-1, Hughes set a new transcontinental speed record by flying non-stop from Los Angeles to New York City in 7 hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds.
