Steam Powered Car Gets Test Run

A team from Hampshire aiming to smash the world land speed record for a steam-powered car was today launching its first test run. Lymington’s British Steam Car Challenge group has just taken delivery of its steam-powered car, Inspiration, at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Now they are finally ready to find out whether the massive green vehicle can topple a 103-year-old record by rocketing past 127mph.

Testing was due to start today and the team has until July 24 to make an official record attempt.
Team manager Matt Candy told a local Hampshire newspaper: “There’s a lot of work to do before we can make the record attempts. We have to set up our communication system, check the radios, assemble the fuelling rigs, unpack the tools, obtaining the propane, get the fridge working and put the toilet in place." He went onto say “It’s a bit like an Everest expedition, but in baking heat rather than the freezing cold.”
