Remember reading about this a few years ago, cool to see it all coming together. Some very intelligent people behind it anyway.

Under the bonnet...
Love the fact it's happening, maybe i'm getting old but what's the point these days? I'd rather someone build a bridge to the moon then a car that can do 1000mph to it lol

Looking forward to this, was always mesmerised by Thrust SSC.....fooking nuts popping the sound barrier

What was more nuts, was watching JUST how much correction Andy Green was having to do at daft speed.......simply amazing

They should give Guy Martin a go in that thing.
Or Jonathan Rea.

0-200mph in 8 seconds.........and they are just running it in!

I think it works out at 165,000hp.......that seems like a lot.

Just saw that, that's really depressing :worried:

Hate to say it, but wouldn't be surprised to see it resurrected at some point with a few shafted suppliers... It's come to far to end up rotting away in a shed though.

I do hope they work something out.

thats always been a futile project.. proves nothing for the rest of us to benefit from... money from investors could have built a nice race track or sustained the existing ones for years
