TL;DR

Britain’s Andy Green, the only person to break the sound barrier in a car, returns to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats with the hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax to chase new land-speed records, aiming to beat the diesel record of 350.092 mph and set hydrogen and electric-vehicle marks; he has reached 368.347 mph in practice, but official records require FIA verification, while hydrogen’s appeal depends on how the fuel is produced and safety considerations.
