Offer InterviewsHeathlands Guardian - Activities, activities

• This whole "era" commenced with battles of propulsion. Electricity? Steam? What? Records started from 39 mph to Thrust SSC's  record at 763 mph. So, it seems crazy for a team already holding the record for the world land speed with Thrust SSC, to want to beat their own record. Right? Well, no.  Haven't you ever had the rush of doing something so unimaginable? Well, there is your answer. It's all about opportunity. While the team are working on THEIR opportunity, Mrs Saeed, Heathlands staff, also has something in mind about our own opportunity, "the bloodhound is a really fantastic opportunity for the heathland school [as] students [get] to have a look first hand at what the model looks like, and it may even inspire a few engineers for the future."
