Bloodhound LSR team took the car out on to the Hakskeenpan for the first time. We had two unsuccessful attempts to start the EJ200 jet engine, but there was no ignition. Our engineers tracked down the problem to a fuel pump issue. Once fixed, we fired her up again. This time the inhibitor fluid that the jet engine was filled with for storage was burned off (that's the smoke you see in the photo!).

However, the start up cycle took four seconds longer than the 60 second start process and automatically shut down - as it's designed to. We're confident next time out it will run without issue. Nobody said land speed racing would be plain sailing!
