Thrust 2 (Part 2) - Richard Noble’s 633mph Land Speed Record
40 years on from setting the World Land Speed Record on October 4th 1983, this is the story of Thrust 2 from its humble beginnings to land speed glory.
In Part Two, Thrust 2 comes to life, the team heads to Bonneville and a disastrous test run threatens to stop the project in its tracks.

This book in particular has been a fantastic resource in my research for this video. If you want to know more detail about Thrust 2 than I could cover in a 23 minute video, Richard Noble tells the whole story here. Highly recommended!
