Watched a bit of the live feed over lunch, brakes got pretty hot.
Richard Nobles book is worth a read, amazing achievement with Thrust SSC. The bit that got me was after Thrust 2 they ran the numbers through a CFD computer and found that the aerodynamicists slide rule calculations were spot on, and also that if he'd gone about 20mph faster the thing would have flipped upwards at 45g.........
