Well worth a look if you like rally cars and the Breitling Rocket Man in a race with each other...

A bit of fun.  The competition aspect is pure cinema.

That rocketman's achievement is quite amazing.  Just landing under the parachute carrying the wing and jet engines would be very demanding, quite apart from the aerodynamics of his flight.

Exciting but not for me, I will take the ST1300 for a run when I need a BUZ  :thumb
