Reproduction of Donald Campbell's X7 racing boat, Bluebird at Dumbleyung.

He broke the world land speed record and the world water speed record in 1964. The only person to have broken both in one year. He broke the WWSR on Lake Dumbleyung, a small farming community in Western Australia.

Fun fact, the Nissan Bluebird was named to remember his achievements.

A recent test in China saw a ‘floating’ hyperloop train break records, reaching a staggering 387mph (623 km/h). This breakthrough fuels speculation that hyperloops could one day revolutionize transport,…

Ray Keech: First American over 200mph – Jive Bomber @Jalopy Journal

The Brits ruled the Daytona Beach Land Speed records: Seagrave and Campbell went back and forth going faster and faster, but one man broke their streak for a brief time, when board track and Daytona 500 racer Ray Keech went 207.55 mph on the beach April 22nd, 1928. The car he used was unusual, and brutal, to say the least. The White Triplex was backed by wealthy industrialist J.H. White, and…

Abarth Alfa Romeo 1100 Monoposto Record Car, 1957, by Pininfarina. Carlo Abarth placed great emphasis on breaking speed and endurance records. Understanding the importance of aerodynamics, he collaborated with the Pininfarina. Abarth created a record-breaking single-seater using the Giulietta's 4-cylinder DOHC engine. In order to qualify for class G, he reduced the engine displacement from 1298 to 1088cc. On May 18, 1957 the Alfa Romeo-powered record car broke 6 records before a blow-out brought the session to a premature end.
