Richard Noble achieved the World Land Speed record of 633.468mph on Nevada's Black Rock Desert in October 1983. In October 1997 he achieved his life time ambition of leading the team that broke the speed of sound. Richard's original record was the third longest standing Land Speed Record of all time. He conceived, planned and executed the project to build a 30,000 HP 650mph car from a zero cash base. He drove the car Thrust 2 at over 600mph 11 times and to a peak speed of 650.88 mph. For his achievement, he was given amongst other awards the OBE, the RAC Diamond Jubilee Trophy, the John Cobb Memorial Trophy, the Sir Malcolm Campbell Trophy and the Sir Henry Segrave Trophy.
The Thrust project was driven by Richard Noble's energy and leadership skills in bringing together a team, ranging from 150 sponsors who finance the project, to the 50 skilled engineers and technicians who design and build the car, down to the five men who have to keep a ten mile desert track free from the smallest stones. Richard's ability to motivate and inspire his team towards the same goal has captivated business audiences throughout the world.
