Based in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, Bloodhound is an attempt to break the world land speed record using the most advanced straight-line racing car ever. The project was rescued from administration in 2018 and Bloodhound LSR is now preparing for high speed testing in excess of 400 mph in South Africa, ahead of an attempt at the world land speed record and then an attempt to break 1,000mph. The current world land speed record of 763.035mph was set over 20 years ago by a British team including Bloodhound LSR driver Andy Green.
Ian Warhurst, the Yorkshire engineering entrepreneur behind this rescue, will be talking to the editor of The Engineer Jon Excell on 4th June at The Engineer Conference. The conversation will include Warhurst’s plans and ambitions for this iconic UK engineering project.
The Engineer Conference runs alongside The Engineer Expo, Subcon and Advanced Manufacturing. Other speakers on day one of the conference include Dave Short, technology director, BAE Systems; Stephen Phipson, CEO, MakeUK and Riona Armesmith, chief project engineer, Hybrid Electric Propulsion, Rolls Royce.
