Jeremy Clarkson Gives Update on Future as He Admits 'Too Difficult'
Clarkson said hydrogen still has promise after the 406.320 mph run, while JCB said the production-based engines show zero-emissions power can work today.
- At the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, the JCB Hydromax achieved a world land speed record for hydrogen internal combustion cars, averaging 406.320mph across two high-speed runs with Andy Green driving.
- Twenty years after the JCB Dieselmax, Cotswolds-based JCB chairman Lord Anthony Bamford noted the record used production-based engines that currently power JCB diggers.
- In his column for the Sun, Clarkson wrote that watching the vehicle "spearing across the salt flats" changed his view on hydrogen, observing, "all that's coming out of the exhaust is water."
- The 32-foot car significantly surpassed the 185.5mph record set by the BMW H2R in 2004 and the 350.092mph mark established by the JCB Dieselmax in 2006.
- Clarkson referenced Kennedy's words to reflect on the challenge: "We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
