A group in Britain is seeking to break the land speed record with a car described as a “hybrid rocket” and a “jet car.” They hope to get the car to a point where it will reach 1,000 mph.
The Bloodhound Project announced it would begin testing of its 14-foot, nearly 1,000-pound car with 80,000 horsepower this week. The tests will evaluate the rocket system of the car, which includes a Cosworth CA2010 F1 engine, High Test Peroxide oxidizer tank, custom designed gearbox and software and Falcon Hybrid Rocket.

BTW, isn't this really just a sneaky way of directing folks to Glenn Beck's right wing propaganda site, The Blaze... especially when the actual page for the project is much more interesting and informative?
Is it true that this car is being developed at the request of Rory McIlroy?
