The ThrustSSC Team are completing preparations for a return to Jordan to continue high-speed testing of ThrustSSC.

Live Information

The very latest status of ThrustSSC can be seen through the Microplex Web Camera in the workshop in P8R Shed, DRA, Farnborough:

Please note:

• The Web Camera photo is updated hourly
• ThrustSSC will not be in the picture during tests or visits to exhibitions
• If the image is black or very streaky with strange colouring - it's night-time and the workshop lights are off! The software is doing its best to clean-up the image to make something visible.

Car

1. Design modifications to the rear suspension and steering to cure the high-speed shimmy are complete.
2. Work to bring ThrustSSC up to supersonic standard is complete.
