Team New Zealand usually makes waves on the water but today it's celebrating setting a wind powered land speed world record.

The high-tech craft - "Horonuku" - reached 222.4 kilometres per hour on the salt flats of Lake Gairdner in South Australia.

Horonuku was piloted by decorated America's Cup sailor Glenn Ashby.

He spoke to Māni Dunlop.
