Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 Police chase 165mph driver in Audi supercar down M57 'Catch me if you can!': Boast of 165mph driver who was speeding so fast only a police helicopter could keep up with him Shiad Mahmoon, 24, recorded an average speed of up to 165mph He was speeding in an Audi R8 Spyder when he was spotted by police Driver pulled over after a high-speed police chase He is banned from the roads for three years and fined £515 Speeding driver: Shiad Mahmoon, 24, was clocked doing an average speed of up to 165mph A driver who was caught doing 165mph on a motorway was banned from the roads for three years - but told a court: 'I'm still going to drive - catch me if you can!'. Shiad Mahmoon, 24, was going so fast that police needed a helicopter to keep up with him, a judge was told. The driver was clocked speeding on the M57 in Merseyside in a hired Audi R8 Spyder by police who videoed him in the helicopter. Liverpool magistrates' court was told the speed was the fastest ever recorded by Merseyside Police. Mahmoon, who is unemployed, may have recorded an even higher top speed as police estimated his average was between 144mph and 165mph on the stretch of motorway. The court heard that the helicopter spotted the car hurtling down the M57 towards the junction with the M62 at around 5am on June 26, 2011. Sue Jones, prosecuting, said a nearby patrol car was radioed and a dramatic pursuit culminated with Mahmoon pulling over on the M62 near the Burtonwood services, car keys in hand. Police used footage from the helicopter to work out the average speed Mahmoon was travelling at in the hire car. Mahmoon, of Oldham, pleaded guilty yesterday as his trial was due to begin. Defending himself, he told magistrates he had no recollection of the incident because of a brain injury.
