I would never have the bottle to do this, but can't help being drawn to the event. I love watching it and get an adrenalin rush just observing the audacity of these guys. Heaven knows what it must be like, skimming the very limit of such a danger zone - just brushing it and getting the 'do or dare' buzz - gritting ones teeth at the face of danger or sticking two fingers up to it. Once again, the knights of the planet are drawn to the monster that lives on a small island. The Isle of Man TT.

Bloodhound SSC - 1,000 mph car.
The Bloodhound SSC is a vehicle being designed to brake the speed of 1,000 mph. To know more read below links. It has a Rolls-Royce Eurojet. An after burning turbofan with Nammo HTP hybrid rocket. It is still under development and the project has been running for a few years now.
Soon, in South Africa, the proof will be in the pudding.
