"Later this year the team will establish themselves in South Africa for three months. It’s here that for five years 300 local workers have been removing 18,500 tonnes of stone by hand from the dried-up lake-bed track. It’s now ready, but at first the team will “only” be aiming for 800mph and a new record. They will then return in 2016 to push on to 1,000mph by adding two extra rocket engines to the car."

Gone in 60 seconds. (1000mph in 55 seconds) !! Amazing, can't wait.

Watching Thrust SSC breaking the sounds barrier in the Black Rock desert still gives me goose bumps.
