------------------------------



From the British speed heroes of the 1930s to the first man to break the sound barrier; man is constantly obsessed with pushing the boundaries of speed, often at the ultimate cost - their own lives. This is a celebration of our adrenaline-fuelled passion to go faster than ever before. So sit back, buckle up and prepare to be overwhelmed by the need for speed.



3) The Landspeed Record

After many trials and tribulations, we follow the continued attempts of Craig Breedlove and Richard Noble to achieve the elusive landspeed record. We follow Richard Noble's tests and preparation in the Jordan desert and look at the new modifications to his car. This film culminates with Noble and Breedlove's head-to-head challenge at Blackrock in September 1997, each driver hungry not only for the record, but also to go supersonic!
