Bloodhound car chases land speed record dream

After successful trials in the South African desert, the Bloodhound car will now target 800mph. It's been running up to now with only a jet engine aboard. When it goes for the land speed record (currently 763mph), the vehicle will be powered additionally by a rocket.

The BBC had exclusive access to the Bloodhound team in November as it ran the car beyond 500mph.

A film covering this time - Bloodhound: Chasing the Land Speed Record - is being broadcast on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News.
