Bloodhound SSC, the land speed record car that"s better known for how frequently its timings move backwards than how fast it travels forwards, looks as if it might be gaining some much needed momentum. Although - somewhat inevitably - this involves the timings slipping back yet further. After successful 200mph tests at Newquay last October, the intention was for Bloodhound to head out to South Africa this year to start sub-sonic testing. Those plans have been shifted back to May 2019. However, this is a more rational plan that reduces costs - Bloodhound will remain in South Africa next summer, saving on transport costs, before attempting an all-out assault on the current Land Speed Record in November 2019.
