The UK is a small island but we still own the world land speed record
I've watched up close and personal a few things accelerate fast.....
Stood next to a F1 car launching on full power at the end of the pit lane and knelt behind a F1 inshore powerboat holding the engine cowl while aiming it for a race start
Compared to seeing a Euro (slow in comparison to a top level US car) top fuel dragster my F1 land and sea experiences were a non-event
