Catch me if you can....

How does it feel to drive at 15 times the motorway speed limit? Well, you can find out now on the BLOODHOUND Driving Experience. Launched at Farnborough Airshow 2010, it's now possible to take to the wheel of a virtual supersonic car. Thanks to IT sponsor Intel, we at the University of Southampton have been able to work with a great team to bring this project to fruition.

Using our experience in flight simulation, aerodynamics and vehicle modelling, we worked with Cursive Simulation to create a model that recreates the full experience from 0 to 1000 to 0 mph - all in 100 seconds.

The BLOODHOUND Driving Experience is making its way to our events, so keep tabs on where it will be.
