TL;DR

British driver Andy Green set a new hydrogen-powered land speed record of 406 mph (654 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, piloting JCB's Hydromax with two hydrogen engines; the run doubles the previous hydrogen combustion record and adds to Green's history as the first person to break the sound barrier on land with ThrustSSC in 1997.
