The latest car being built for an attempt at the land speed record, powered by a eurofighter typhoon engine and a rocket motor. With a 550bhp V8 jaguar engine just to pump the rocket oxidiser.

In total, eight times more power than all cars on the F1 grid combined.

The bloodhound is an impressive piece of kit. A mate of mine got a factory tour at the end of his physics masters so I'll see if he has any cool photos.

That would be cool, sounds like the build is a long process to get everything spot on.

Yeah, they're planning their first test runs this year on a runway in Cornwall

My worries is they use Serco

My worries are the wheels. They reckon the heat generated between the wheels and the sand will melt the sand, but sand has a higher melting point than aluminium, which is what the wheels are made of.
