If all goes to plan, Bloodhound SSC will break the land
speed record by the largest ever margin, and, in 40 seconds. According
to Times Online, that would be faster than a speeding bullet.

Who is crazy enough to drive the vehicle you ask, Wing Commander Green
is. Here is what he will experience; as the car accelerates, from
0-1,050mph in 40 seconds, he will experience a force of 2.5G (2 times
his bodyweight) and the blood will rush to his head. As he decelerates,
he will experience forces of up to 3G, the blood will drain to his feet
and he could black out. Not a bad price to pay to set a world record!
