Another diesel record !

A car built by JCB has broken its own diesel land speed record by reaching a speed of 350.092mph (563.418km/h).

The JCB Dieselmax vehicle achieved the average speed during two runs on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah, USA.

Wednesday's record time beat a speed of 328.767mph (529km/h) the team had set just 24 hours earlier.

The Staffordshire-built vehicle was driven by Wing Cdr Andy Green from RAF Wittering in Cambs. He has said the car is capable of even higher speeds.
