Bloodhound supersonic car record bid slips again

Bloodhound supersonic car record bid slips again

The British-led effort to break the World Land Speed Record is going to slip again - to 2018. The Bloodhound Super-Sonic Car was supposed to go racing later this year, to try to raise the current mark of 763mph (1,228km/h) to over 800mph.

But what are described as "short-term cash flow problems" have put a dent in the schedule.

The upside, says the team, is that it provides additional time to eke more power from the car's rocket.
