Thrust 2 took the LSR back in October 1983, and Richard Noble, who drove it, also led the Thrust SSC team in 1997 to push the record further from the Americans.

Craig Breedlove has tried to fight back, but he ain't no designer when it comes to supersonic cars. Brave though!

Did anyone listen to the soundtrack on the video? It really did sound like a kettle gone mad to start with.

Good effort.
