This time there's competition. A three-way race is developing, with two other teams, one from North America and the other from Australia, vying to wrest the record from the Brits. The first step will be to break the existing record and get past 800 mph. If that succeeds, the next stage is to attempt 1000 mph (1609 kilometres per hour). "That's what we're designing the car for," says Ron Ayers, chief aeronautic engineer on the Bloodhound project.
