ThrustSSC is ready for engine tests and system checks - these are the final items requiring checking before the car can run.
Engine tests scheduled for today have been delayed due to difficulties getting the car onto its trailer with the solid aluminium desert wheels fitted. These will take place tomorrow in the tie-down cell at Al Jafr airbase, followed by the first desert runs of the car on Al Jafr desert on Monday 11th November.
'De-fodding’ - collecting all stones and other debris - is in progress. Tracks 14, 15, 16 and 17 (of a total of seventeen) are completed and tracks 3, 4, and 5 have been done to mile 9¾. Once these three tracks have been completed, tracks 1 and 2 will receive the attentions of the fodding team.
