Will Triumph Reclaim the Unlimited Class World Land Speed Record in 2015?
I think (don't quote me) they had mechanical issues in 13 and last year the salt was too wet.

I'm amazed that it can go so fast with such little wheels.

The two in-line engines each have a displacement of 1,485cc.

Hmmm, what am I missing here?

There is a 3000cc limit, I believe. And:

Why has engine manufacturer Carpenter opted for two engines? “It just made sense. One huge engine would most likely torch the bearings. With the shorter stroke we can have higher RPM’s with less stress on the motors,” Carpenter explains.

The 2 engine configuration is often used; Triumph held the record in 1966 with a twin engined (2x 650cc) unit called the X1.

Is that the missing bits?
