Yup those big bulldozers – they’ve built a yellow car to beat the previous 1973 land speed record for diesel cars. It’s called the Dieselmax.
The driver will be the same guy that drove Thrust SSC to breaking the sound barrier and land speed record in 1997, Wing Commander Andy Green.
Good luck to them!

Well they did it – average 333 mph! They’re going to try to go faster…

The Dieselmaxx has now managed to do 350 mph on the measured mile and (*still*) hasn’t gone through all its gears!
