(0830hrs Jordan time) In view of the weather on the Jafr Desert, the decision was taken to postpone yesterday's run. It is still windy on Jafr today, although the wind has fallen somewhat from yesterday. One low-speed test is planned for today.
(1800hrs Jordan time) With the weather improving, two runs were made - the first a high-speed run to 325mph, and the second a low-speed run to 110mph. Both runs went extremely well!
Please check our Runs Database for the very latest information on the progress of ThrustSSC - the database is always updated as soon as possible after the car runs - and always before any report is written and published.
'De-fodding’ - collecting all stones and other debris - is in progress. Tracks 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16 and 17 (of a total of seventeen) are completed.
Tracks 17 and 15 have been used so far.
The team equipment, including car, Merlo, Supacats, Pit Station Trailer and tools are now on site at the Desert Pits. The car is housed in an inflatable Aireshelta when being worked on.
