Bonneville Salt Flats

The Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, a vast, flat expanse renowned for its suitability for high-speed land vehicle attempts, is once again the stage for a new land speed record pursuit. British driver Andy Green, who previously broke the sound barrier and set a diesel-powered car record of 350.092 mph at the location twenty years ago, is returning to the salt flats. This time, Green is aiming to set a new record with a hydrogen-powered vehicle. A UK team is preparing to test the JCB Hydromax, a car utilizing hydrogen engines typically found in commercial diggers, on the iconic Utah salt flats. This renewed activity highlights the Bonneville Salt Flats' enduring significance as a premier location for pushing the boundaries of automotive speed and technological innovation in land speed racing.
