1000 mph Race - Bloodhound SSC vs. Eurofighter Typhoon

[White Monster]

I've posted this link on some other sites, but for those that have not seen it yet, below is an animated video that may interest you.

Britain's Absolute Land Speed Record car, races a Eurofighter Typhoon rated at Mach 1.2+ (classified top speed).  A great promotional item.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Nice CAR-toon

Why in the hell is Lockheed-Martin and STP sponsoring the British team? We (NAE) tried getting sponsorship from STP and they told me it didn't fit their marketing plans. Lockheed-Martin couldn't be bothered. Maybe we'll have to go to some Muslim country to get sponsored!

Ed,

I suspect because although US in origin, LM are a global corporation with a requirement to sell via close links with organisations in many geographies outside the US. As the weblink shows, LM-UK is a company in its own right even though it is part of the overall LM group.

As for STP, they told you the truth as I read it. They have been absent from Europe for some time and need to re-establish themselves as a brand in Europe. As the last post said, it's all about the market and what the support of a project can bring to their campaigns. I can understand your angst, but that's the way global corporations of whatever nationality view things these days.

No problems for me either. You can get at it directly via the BSSC website.
