What to remember
On 12 August 2018, Danny Thompson drove Challenger 2 to 722.204 km/h (448.757 mph), the top speed for a piston-engine vehicle. The run was certified by the SCTA.
As with many world records, the criteria for an attempt, the authority of the certifying body and the speed actually reached can all be disputed.
