The competition attracted 1000 entries. There was a huge range of colours and designs, which were great fun to judge, but it was really difficult to make a final choice. I wish I had at least 5 helmets, as there were so many designs that I wanted to use.

Record Attempt Timing

Thursday, 4 July, 2013

News

Bloodhound SSC will begin its record campaign in South Africa in Summer (UK time) 2015.



This new date is the result of an audit conducted by BMT HighQ Sigma, the engineering review consultancy.


Project Director Richard Noble said, “You have to be humble when you’re taking on the laws of physics. We are the most experienced Land Speed Record team in history, holding the record for some 30 years, but that doesn’t make us complacent. Quite the opposite in fact – we know better than anyone how incredibly hard this is! Calling in independent assessors and putting our plans back by a few months is a price well worth paying because we can now press on knowing that the approach we are taking is the right one and we will have a car capable of achieving 1000mph – safely.”
