Triumph motorcycles have bagged the popular Isle of man TT racer, truck mechanic, and TV presenter, Guy Martin to pilot its Rocket III Streamliner in a land speed record attempt in August this year.
The Streamliner uses two Rocket III motors, which have been turbocharged to produce more than 1,000 bhp, housed in a Carbon-Kevlar monocoque chassis that is 25 1/2 feet long, two feet wide and three feet tall. It needs to go faster than an eye watering 605.7 Km/h (376.4 mph) to gain a new record.
As usual, the attempt will take place at the Bonneville Salt Flats from 24-27 August. You can follow the shenanigans at TriumphLandSpeed.com and GuyMartinRacing.co.uk.
