Idris Elba: No Limits

Featured Replies

Anybody watch the first one of these on Discovery Channel?

 

Attempting to break the Flying Mile Land Speed Record originally set by Malcolm Campbell in Bluebird @ 174 mph

 

 

He bought a 10 year old nail of an Audi RS6+ for £16k and it wasn't quick enough - a REVO tech said nothing off the shelf would improve it, they asked about NOS system but he said no. They put on in anyway and it still wasn't quick enough.

 

So Bentley lent them a car and he did it!

 

 

 

 

 

However, I can't seem to work out which land speed record / class record he has beaten? The Campbell record of 174 mph is the Class A (over 8,000 cc) 1 mile flying start. Or is it actually the Class B record he's broken which is 5,000cc to 8,000cc (of which the Bentley was 6 litre I recall) @ 157mph.

 

Regardless he beat the Class B record but didn't technically beat Campbell's record.

 

 

There are others in the series too including speed boating etc - seems like a series to rival Guy Martin.
