This is the story of ThrustSSC - a car designed to set the first ever supersonic World Land Speed Record. Conceived with a capability of reaching 850mph, it is the most powerful car ever built. It is also the story of the ThrustSSC Team. From the easily recognised faces of current record-holder Richard Noble and Driver Andy Green, to the never-seen people working behind the scenes to make it all happen, this is the story of their struggles to beat bad weather, restricted funding, unforeseen setbacks - and stiff competition to be the first through the Sound Barrier. This is not an unchanging story with an ending we have known since childhood - no-one knows for certain what the future will bring for ThrustSSC. This is a living adventure brought to you through the Internet - and this Web Site is part of our attempt to involve as many people as possible, from as far afield as possible, in our quest to be the first. Whether you choose to follow every step of our progress from home or office, or prefer to put on your overalls and help us out, this is your chance to say: 'I was there!'.
