Bloodhound Is Looking For Someone To Drive Its 800 MPH Rocket Car

Baby, you can drive my car.

The land speed record has stood at around 763 miles per hour since it was set by Andy Green in Thrust SSC back in 1997. The former air force pilot turned jet car driver was set to break his own record in a new racer but he’s now announced he’s stepping back from the project, which means the rocket-powered car is on the hunt for a new driver.

Green was set to pilot Bloodhound LSR, a new record-breaking machine that’s powered by a jet engine sourced from a Eurofighter Typhoon fighter plane as well as a rocket motor. However, the 61-year-old has now stepped back from the project, according to a report from British outlet Autocar.
