Britain's Bloodhound car could reach 1,000mph

  I have always been fascinated by speed and the land speed records in particular, the cars, the men that attempted them and the stories around them. 

Men like Sir Donald Campbell, Henry Segrave, John Cobb etc. are true heroes.

So I spotted this with great interest on last nights news at 10

‘If all goes to plan, Bloodhound SSC will break the land speed record by the largest ever margin, and, in 40 seconds of breathtaking thrust, inspire thousands of British school children to take science A levels’
