Further high-speed tests planned for today have been postponed due to a minor problem with the steering which is now being rectified. Weather permitting, the next runs will be tomorrow afternoon or Thursday.
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.
Recent rain has softened the concrete-hard desert and laid the copious amounts of dust - to the team's relief.
'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.
