[00:45.92]it was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine.
[00:53.88]although campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour,
[01:00.16]he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run.

[01:25.56]his average speed had been 301 miles per hour.
[01:31.44]since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour.
