Guinness World Records has posthumously awarded Jessi Combs as officially the world's fastest woman. Guinness awarded Combs the title after she was clocked at an average of 522.783 miles per hour in completed two-way runs before her August 27th, 2019, crash that took her life. After her death, Combs' family stated that "Jessi's most notable dream was to become the fastest woman on Earth." Mission accomplished, Jessi.
