The World's Fastest Diesel: The Inside Story of the JCB Dieselmax Land Speed Record Success David Tremayne

At the Bonneville Salt Flats on 23 August 2006 the fastest man on earth, Andy Green, sped to 350.092mph in a yellow torpedo-shaped car called JCB Dieselmax, creating a sensational new land speed record for a diesel-powered vehicle. This was the culmination of one of the most remarkable and adventurous projects in British motorsport history. The endeavour began with JCB Chairman Sir Anthony Bamford's bold decision to use his company's JCB444 diesel engine - normally used in diggers - as the basis for a record-breaking car, in order to showcase his products on a world stage. This book tells the whole dramatic story from the inside.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

What inspired Sir Anthony Bamford to risk JCB's image with a speed record attempt? How was a humble diesel engine transformed from a 120bhp digger powerplant into a 750bhp racing unit? What part did Richard Noble's supersonic ThrustSSC programme play in the success of JCB Dieselmax? How did a team with no experience in the construction of a record-breaking car design and build JCB Dieselmax in less than 12 months? Why did the well-funded British team fit in so well with the impecunious hot rodders when they met up on the salt flats during Bonneville Speed Week in August 2006? What was the problem that so nearly prevented Green from reaching his 350mph goal on his final run at Bonneville?
