the Bloodhound team has brought the near-completed car to London’s Docklands to make its #-Link-Snipped-#. Over the next two days, 8000 members of the public will troop into the East Wintergarden, an arched, glazed space just over the road from the main Canary Wharf tower, to look at the needle-nosed vehicle that, its team hope, will break the land speed record twice on the dried lakebed of South Africa’s Hakskeen Pan: aiming for 800mph next year (exceeding the current mark of 763mph, set by Bloodhound driver Andy Green in the same core team’s previous vehicle, Thrust SSC, on 15 October 1997); then, after a return to the UK for analysis and refitting, going back to Hakskeen in 2017 to try for the biggest increase in the record’s history, to 1000mph.
