Bloodhound SSC: engine test
Livestream to the Bloodhound engine test here!
We last wrote about the Bloodhound back in July and Richard Noble told us "
we're winning!" Well, right now they're running, the engine firing up for the first time in a hardened missile tunnel in Cornwall. Chris Harris is there as we speak too - best check your ear plugs are in place Chris - it's about to get loud!

I've been watching for the past hour. I even posted a thread in the Motorsport section - which was closed down by a mod because there was already another thread running.
And guess what happens, a mod opens another thread anyway.
Maybe I inadvertantly almost scuppered a plan.
Anyway - the important thing is that people get to see the test.

Plus it's not like the forum isn't already riddled with duplicate threads on subjects that aren't exciting news. Totally worth a new thread.

I think they should put that fire out all the same.

Bugger - missed it. Anyone able to upload the recording? What happened - did it go well?

Um, is the fire meant to go out afterward? Is it still on fire?

Andy Green thinks that the 700 mph airflow will blow the fire out.
Wishful thinking perhaps.
