The 42ft long Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) is being showcased in a temporary exhibition venue at the show, which takes place over this weekend (24-25 July).

"The clear view roofs [of the structure] have created quite a talking point at the show; it is great that visitors to our exhibit don’t need to step outside to watch the daily flying displays," said Bloodhound Project commercial events manager Jo Finch.

Next year the Bloodhound Project hopes to claim the land speed record. In order to do this the SSC will have to improve on 763mph, the record famously set in 1997 by the Thrust SSC.
