Bloodhound races ahead
Imagine travelling ten miles in just 100 seconds. Thanks to the Bloodhound Driving Experience, you can simulate a ride in the world's ultimate racing car and find out just what it takes.
This immersive experience was developed with the help of IT Partner Intel, the University of Southampton, Cursive Simulation, The Race Centre, the University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) and Escape Studios. The Bloodhound Driving Experience is powered by an Intel CoreTM i7 processor. The system delivers stunning graphics accurately representing life at 1,000mph.
The Gamebryo Lightspeed game engine from Emergent Game Technologies, most commonly used in console games and military training simulators, delivers the state-of-the-art graphics.
Visiting test drivers will face the ultimate multi-tasking challenge: monitoring and controlling three separate engines whilst keeping the 133,000thp (thrust horsepower) car on course on the way up to Mach 1.4.
