2 Fastest Aussie on Earth Land Speed Record

[Patheticpunani]

R.I.P

[jhoags92]

Tires with a speed rating of... ZZZ?

[fordfocusboy27]

RIP peter brock legend mate

[Sealy57]

Too much drag. Reminds me a bit of the old Green Monster. Not aerodynamically efficient enough to break the record. More thrust, please!

[ho33es]

what year was this filmed? Is this a competitor of the SSC Bloodhound in development right now?

[rltsdj]

No.

[Camerameister]

@ho33es No. Apparently McGlashan's latest project is rocket powered.

[BONASTOWN]

RIP Brocky!!! :-(

[OPOCHKA]

Nice video, but shame that it was spoiled with that Dog-shit " Music "..

[8200rpm]

Damn! that thing is no more than an engine and a place to sit.

[setarezarei]

woooooooooooow

[slackeriii]

In my uneducated dumbass opinion:

Not aerodynamic or powerful enough. The spirit of america had way better aerodynamics and almost 20000 horse power on the aussie invader and it still failed to break the sound barrier

[dobbo996]

Bloodhound is coming..........

[lancelo96]

ha, i think the record in ancient Atlantis was 3,000 kph

[goldy344]

no it was just over 1000 kph, The Trust SSC beat this, but still a good achivement, by the thrust went as fast as concord and 4 times faster than a F1 car! Top speed of 774mph. which is rediculous!

[martinbrammer1]

@goldy344 lol it's just amazing how fast and impatient we have got now.

the ssc's bloodhound has an estimated terminal velocity of 1050 mph or mach 1.4

which is 1.4 times the sound barrier.It's just amazing isn't it

[leeikanawa]

wow all i see here is nation talk trash. this is why one of the days a super being would just say "i need to start again from scratch" and will just wipe the earth clean from all the humans and then lets see you all fight now when you have no where but to blame your selfs with all this petty squabble of mere race car and Olympics competition. all you fools need to save earth and help it. we have our own defects can deny that but to all this years have we found in the cosmos a planet likethis?

[oldyuma]

Oh bloody hell...craig breedlove outran this piece of s@%t 40 years ago....oh well ....wanker on mates!

[Duckbubbi]

m52spy..

mate if we are all so fat living in such a shit hole of a desert why do we hold the ashes???

why is it that amongst the cricketing elite in this country do we say "if you cant make the aussie team go to england"....

thats another thing, how can it be that you lot can come under 40 different names, ie great britain, england, united kingdom??? i dont quite get it.. you compete in internation sport as england (rugby cricket football etc) but the olympics you guys are great britain???

[m52spy]

Yes the internal sports politics is a bit confusing, i bit like our history. But each of these sports bodies wont give power to another body so we are stuck with it. And i'm not saying all aussies are fat, just most of them....

[WilliamsRacingWA95]

Rosco = Idol

[nippasnapper]

490 MPH !!!!!!!

[LandSpeedRecord121]

True, very true. I hpoe the AIR5 gets the record before Bloodhound as this would give them a new target to get rather than better the exisiting. Also Rosco deserves a record.

[LandSpeedRecord121]

He copied the design of the car from richard nobles thrust 2

[OzzInter]

Best of luck ROSCO with this and any future cars!

I love the "uniform" the crew is wearing-"Footy" shorts and elastic-sided work-boots.

So Australian!!!

The Rosco's cars have been built on a limited budget and have performed very well!

[ziggassedup]

Oi Oi Oi.

[Tricyklist]

Anybody willing to risk their lives at that speed is a hero in my book. (Whatever their nationality) I wonder whether the Oz salt lake is ideal for these speeds compared with Utah? It looked a bit damp. Good luck to all concerned. The moronic big mouths here should be gaffer taped to the rear of the car to add some extra thrust. ;-)

[593OLYMPUS]

800Kph? That's less than 500mph - we were going that fast back in 1982! I thought the Japs were the best at copying other people's designs, but that Aussie car is a virtual copy of Thrust 2 ( albeit less 1 tail fin )!

The guys got guts,nicely turned out car, but forget catching Mach1 on land. No chance. We wish him well, honestly, but we won't be seeing him as fastest man on earth anytime soon. Fastest man in a car in the air maybe.

[TradesBoy]

fuck you talk shit blah blah fucken blah

[593OLYMPUS]

Good new 4 you - Rosco has now hired Britain John Akroyd ( designer of Thrust 2 from 1982 the previous record holder ) to design a car for him to exceed 1000mph on land. "Well if you can't beat em - ask those nice Brits to come and work 4 you" as that great Australian saying goes!

[TradesBoy]

same stupid pommy arrogance i read in ur other comment. get over it princess. if aussies had the motorsport industry you lot hav we probly would already be beatin you but instead we do with wat we hav. so go bury ur head in the sand or salt which ever tickles ur fancy.

[593OLYMPUS]

Tradesboy - coming from somebody who obviously never got that dictionary they wanted as a little boy, you are entitled to your own views. "If" by the way is a small word with a big meaning - you do not have the motorsport industry we have, hence why you went after John Ackroyd ( British engineer ) for his design skills. G'day sport.

[TradesBoy]

pal if you were not so up yourself you would realise thats exactly wat i meant "if".

we do with wat we hav meaning lesser infrastructure equipment and less extravagant funding. we do pretty much the same as everybody else with less financial backing, you'll also find that because aussie engineers mechanics trades people in general are found every where in the world because we are sought after in every industry. g'day sport wat is that captain. been round the block a few times.

[m52spy]

Yawn. Bring on the ashes.

[healewis]

you have no idea what's on the horizon

[homerulepatriot]

you brits can suck my irish dong. it's probly bigger then your any how. Go ozys and good for you rosco, and damn the brits fer thinkin otherwise

[bexfatt]

I love the Video, I am Aussie and just love to see anyone having ago at any record, Whats with the Dissing on this page....Stop it guys and give credit where it is due..Like the Pommies that currently hold the record now you guys used 2 engines, Rosco used one....you will lose it to another champion some time soon, regardless of what country they come from. RECORDS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN....Great to see Peter Brock at the start another Aussie Icon. And Aussie own pommies asses in Cricket/league

[m52spy]

We'll see. Bring on the ashes..

[jeffjxxx]

Very nice video. Best of luck with the whole land speed challenge!!

[jeffjxxx]

Good on ya Rossco! we are behind you. you have achieved so much already, you make us all proud.

[epricks880]

wow and now a dumb chick on a motorcyle ,is bragging that shes faster that this morone doing it why?cause she brain dead gets six ribs broken and gets back on ,are you white people doing us all a favor and killing yourselvesoff this earth with stupidty well good luck and good ridince if your that stupid

[ozychikadee]

I'm guessing its only brits that have bad things to say about ozys...you guys think you are the best at everthing...news guys, YOUR NOT!!!

wat idiot sends your prisoners to a beautiful country and leaves yourselves in a fukn shit heap?? only the brits!!!

so get over yourself guys, we might not have cars as fast as yours but the thing is....we dont really give a FUCK!

[scullerdude]

Yes but we have some World Class; deluded, arrogant xenophobes. Sadly it appears that the more intelligent Brits have managed to emigrate already.

[m52spy]

Fuck you.

[m52spy]

Then why are you lot trying to beat us at every thing. Oh and the 2003 rugby world cup final was sooo sweet. And the 2007 world cup was good to. And this year the ashes. Ozzies have a genuine problem with their old colonial leaders. Thats why you guys try so hard to beat us at everything. Oh and the olympics, what happened there? we whipped you. Most of your shit hole country is desert, lovely. I love beating the ozzies, but there is one thing you guys are good at. Obesity. lol.

[dyenasty27]

alright no you should get the fuck out of america. we dont want you here.

i like australia. seems like a pretty cool place. wish i could go that fast=]

keep on keepin on.

[m52spy]

You don't want us there? We will have paid for all the permits and brought some money into your economy. Also, it happens that you have one of a few places on earth that this can happen. Saying "you can't come", would seem a bit childish wouldn't it? "Its my ball and if I can't win, then no one can play" LOL, we in Britain laugh at the North american eagle...

[Adirtybird]

Oi cockhead.. You beat us at the games??? Wanker we are one nation not 3 ( uk scots and welsh). We love beating you because you winge and moan like a thai whore when we do. It may also have some thing to do with the fact that your all pasty white unwashed, unfucked and un polished turds that live in the cunt of the earth and claim it as ruler of all.. As for the obesity claim, that was a study done expat brits that now live here between the ages of 50 to 70.. Now go suck the queens cock. wanker.

[m52spy]

Hmm, no. Australia is actually the most obese country in the world... But you haven't beat us in a while, bring on the ashes.  1 Country, UK.

[a666er]

Wot a fukkin larf that numb brain mad skizTo scottish biddy from the idol farce is,.ha,ha,ha,GREAT britain!!

GREAT lump of twittering warbling wobbling lardarse.If I ever hear that fat cunt screaching out that nauseating shit about her dreams once more I might just go over there and murder the mad bitch.When the cretin goes cunt up career wise and ends up in rehab mental house with washed up Winehouse for company,the poms will quickly yell that she's Scottish.

[m52spy]

Fuck you

[leton090]

i hat to but in but....actualy th UK has one of the highest rates of obesity in europe and infact the world, who cares if they are trying to beat us, thats the whole point u fool...as for the ashes, we got owned last time, and the rugby...well look at this year...we have been shocking.i am from England by the way. also i bet u go on about how we beat the germans in the war and the football....get over it u loser.

[m52spy]

And thats the point, yes UK is high in the obesity, australia is higher. LOL. Oh and fuck you, you obviously have no idea of the stick our 2 nations give each other. Its part of the healthy rivalry. Fucking cock...

[WArockets]

FUCK YEAH your a legend in my books fuckin poms

[1121jak]

aussies should stick to BBQs + fukin Kangaroos

[pjholl]

LOL, you got a long way to go before you beat the Brits record!

[dynamicangel]

That is one courageous and determined dude. I see him taking the land speed record some day soon. No one has more experience or on hands LSR knowledge and there isn't a more seasoned team in the world. That Aussie Invader 3 is quite a beauty. They build fine machines in Australia. I wish him and the Aussie team luck!.....Waldo Stakes

[asifsmartie]
