COMING AT YA, 1,000 MILES PER HOUR!
AUSSIE INVADER WORLD LAND SPEED CHALLENGE.
Two ex-fighter jet pilots talk with Rosco McGlashan who's had a lifetime of chasing the world land speed record using fighter jet engines (thanks to ex-RAAF Mirage IIIs), and soon a rocket engine! Rosco gives us a detailed description of his journey and a run-down of his latest rocket car, the planning, the engineering, and the grit required to meet the challenge of being the fastest man on land.
