Description

In Autumn 2017 the Bloodhound team will unveil the car with which they'll attempt to break the world land speed record. Powered by a jet engine and a rocket engine Bloodhound is the culmination of a ten year engineering effort.

The 300,000 horsepower, 1000mph car will be flown to South Africa for the attempt. Beyond Supersonic is the incredible story of how The Bloodhound team defied the odds. Behind the wheel, driver Andy Green will be fighting to steer the revolutionary car across the surface of a dry lake bed at almost unimaginable speeds. To break the record he will have to cover a measured mile in just three seconds. This is a drive into the unknown. Project Director Richard Noble likens the challenge to that of mounting a mission to the moon. If you thought what Felix Baumgartner was doing when he jumped out of balloon was dangerous, wait until you get a load of this . . .
