Closely related to bikes...and I'm sure many of youse will see this in action at Verneukpan soon....my mate got tickets to go see the Supersonic Car in London last weekend, very impressive mix of F1 and fighter jet.

Leaving Kew.










The SSC has over 600 air pressure sensors in it, check the little dots and wires in the tail fin


The Rolls-Royce jet engine, same as in the Eurofighter Typhoon, gets it up tp 800 mph/1300kmh...then a rocket engine punches it through 1000 mph/1600 kmh in 17 seconds.....and it has a Jaguar V-8 engine for a rocket fuel pump  :eek7:
