Upper chassis
Picture of the Week
BLOODHOUND's upper chassis is starting to take shape. The state-of-the-art EJ200 Eurofighter Typhoon jet engine will hang within this aluminium structure. Titanium stringers that run the length of the chassis and titanium skin will carry the thrust from the jet engine into the rest of the car.

Castrol's heritage in Land Speed Racing
Bloodhound TV
BLOODHOUND's new partner, Castrol, has a notable heritage in Land Speed Racing, the original, purest and fastest form of automotive competition. The land speed record has been broken 21 times with Castrol as a partner, from Sir Malcolm Campbell’s first record attempt in 1924 (146mph / 235kmh) to a 30-year history of supporting the Thrust campaigns. Thrust successfully raised the Land Speed Record first to 633 mph (1,019 kmh) with Richard Noble’s Thrust 2, and then to 763 mph (1,228 kmh) with Andy Green at the helm of Thrust SSC in 1997. This record still stands today and will be the first target for BLOODHOUND SSC when it arrives in Hakskeen Pan, South Africa in 2015.
