Book excerpt: The Land Speed Record is a fascinating story of human endeavour – of man and machine battling time to be the fastest. Since 1898 many have dreamed of being the fastest on earth, first with electric, then steam, then petrol, moving forward to the jet car, and into the present and future with rocket power. The glory years of the record are studded with iconic names such as Malcolm and Donald Campbell, Henry Segrave, John Cobb, George Eyston, and more recently Craig Breedlove and Richard Noble. The next race is on for 1,000mph with the latest British attempt by Bloodhound SSC. In this colourfully illustrated introduction, using many photographs from the Motoring Picture Library at Beaulieu, Malcolm Campbell's grandson tells of the brave drivers and powerful machines that have propelled themselves into the record books.

Download or read book The Land Speed Record written by David Tremayne and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1898 certain men have sought to travel faster than their fellows. The land speed record is more than just a battle of distance against time, it is a human story, with the inevitable failures, tragedies and successes. Today more than ever, getting an advanced vehicle to Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, or the Black Rock Desert in Nevada is an expensive undertaking requiring a resourcefulness that defies the majority. None of the successful contenders has ever taken the record lightly, nor easily and this book traces man's pursuit of speed since the birth of the motor car and tells more about those who succeeded and those who did not. About the author David Tremayne is the Executive Editor and Grand Prix correspondent of Motoring News and Grand Prix correspondent for The Observer. He first interviewed Richard Noble about Project Thrust and covered the team's American land speed record attempts from 1981 to 1983, in the latter acting as the team's Public and Press Relations Manager
