The fastest car on the ground "Bloodhound LSR" and Bugatti Chiron, F1 car run together

Bloodhound LSR

Have you heard of Bloodhound LSR?

As a car running on the groundTeam (project) aiming for the fastestSo, despite the difficulty in raising funds, the project was able to continue with the sponsorship of British entrepreneur Ian Warhurst.

This Bloodhound LSR is a "rocket" rather than a "car" because you can see it already.

The goal is 1,000 mph (1,600 km / h)

The ultimate goal of this Bloodhound is to reach "running 1,000 mph (1,600 km / h)" on the ground (rather than flying or having a structure like a maglev train).

The digits are so different that I can't imagine.

The main product is the Rolls-Royce EJ200 fighter jet engine, which is complemented by the Nammo rocket motor.

I don't know the detailed structure, but it seems that this car (what is it?) Has a completely different acceleration mechanism and acceleration method from the so-called ordinary hypercars.

I think it's easy to imagine that a car like a rocket like this would be different from a normal car, even if I'm an amateur.

This time, a video showing the difference in how to accelerate has been released.

The following four cars will run at the same time and let them do a drag race.

• Bloodhound LSR
• F1 car
• Bugatti Chiron
• General public road car

The two cars other than the Bloodhound LSR and the Bugatti Chiron are very rough and only announced as "formula cars" and "cars that run on general public roads", and the manufacturer and model are unknown.

What did you use for the "Standard Road Car" ...?

Bloodhound LSR driver

The Bloodhound LSR was driven (maneuvered) by Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green.

I don't think there are so many people who can drive such a great car (?), So I'm convinced that this driver is from Air Force.

This is because you will be handling "supersonic" while you are on the ground.

The driver's seat (or rather the cockpit?) Looks like this ↓

Before, when I got on the simulation car of the formula car, I thought "Wow, the angle of the driver's seat is sleeping so much", but this Bloodhound is also sleeping tremendously. The posture that seems to be.

Then, I would like to watch the video.

This video starts from the video 4.4 seconds after the race starts. This seems to be from the time when the drone that was shooting started shooting stably.

At first, the formula car is by far the fastest! Shiron who keeps up with it is also amazing.

The leftmost is Bloodhound, the blue line is Bugatti Chiron, the green line is the formula car, and the yellow line on the far right is the general public road car.

Bloodhound runs with tremendous dust. It's hard to make only the sand cloudy, but the first rise is certainly slow.

The formula car, Shiron, keeps getting away from it.

However, the catch-up from about 17 seconds after the start of the race is completely different!

When I think I've caught up with the lead, I'll continue to accelerate, which is impossible, and pull away the other cars in a blink of an eye.

The maximum speed of Bloodhound LSR is said to have finally reached 628 mph (about 1,005 km / h) in this test.

And! What surprised me most was that it actually happened about 29 seconds after the race started.

How, Bugatti Chiron pulls out the formula car! !!

The green line (Shiron) and the blue line (F1 car) are lined up, and then Shiron will be pulled out. ↓

While the F1 car has peaked at a top speed of 203 miles (about 325 km), Shillong is steadily leading the F1 at 248 miles (about 398 km).

Bugatti Chiron was a car that was allowed to drive on public roads, right? ?? Scary, Bugatti Chiron.

By the time Bloodhound LSR finally reached its peak of the day, it was already far beyond the other cars.

Anyway, this Bloodhound LSR is also amazing, of course, but I was really surprised at Shiron who showed this amazing speed this time even though it is a car that can run on public roads ^ ^

By the way, the development of Bloodhound LSR will be temporarily suspended here due to the influence of the coronavirus, and it seems that it will be 2021 to challenge the record (current concept).

It's going to cost a lot of money, and it's a tough challenge, but I'm sure that the technology cultivated here may be useful in many other ways, so if you come this far, do your best and aim for 1,000 mph. I hope you can achieve
