Newquay Bloodhound test: Figures behind speed record attempt


The team behind the Bloodhound land speed record attempt will take the rocket car for a spin at Newquay Airport on Thursday.

The trial run of up to 200mph (320km/h) will give people an idea of what the vehicle is capable of.

The real test will be in South Africa in 2019 when the team aims to reach 1,000mph (1,610km/h).
