Land Speed Racing

The land speed record is possibly the most prestigious tile in all of motor racing. Claiming the title of the fastest automobile on the earth has been sought after by many of the world’s most respected men in auto racing’s history. The quest for this title has become more than anyone has EVER expected it to be. The battle between countries (specifically the USA and Great Britain) brings a sense of unity to the entire countries automotive enthusiast. The battle for the land speed record has almost become an Olympic event to gearheads. Currently Great Britain has a project in the works dubbed the Bloodhound SSC which they intend to break the current record of 763 MPH.

The Bloodhound SSC project has already created some of the GREATEST advancements in automotive racing history (hence why we love this project so much).  The Bloodhound project has taken the quest for the land speed title to an almost aerospace technology level. The funding and types of fabrication used are on the NASA space program level. The Bloodhound project has been underway for several years and is still a long way out. The team intends to have its first trial runs in the next few years.
           Here is a short YouTube video that TRULY gives you  the FEELING of what this project is all about.
