The FIA is digitising over two million documents on the history of land‑speed records, revealing hand‑written notes and correspondence that trace the sport’s dangerous, high‑stakes evolution. Meanwhile, Andy Green’s JCB Hydromax hydrogen car set a 406.320 mph FIA land‑speed record at Bonneville, continuing a lineage that began with pioneers like Jenatzy and Campbell and later included jet/rocket eras led by Breedlove and Arfons—demonstrating a century of daring, innovation and rivalry in the quest for ever greater speeds.
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.
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.
Andy Green, the only person to break the sound barrier in a car, returns to the Bonneville Salt Flats with a hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax aiming to beat the 350.092 mph diesel land-speed record and set hydrogen and electric LSR marks; he recently reached 368 mph in practice, with the official FIA validation expected during the attempt. The project showcases hydrogen as a potential clean-energy option, though green hydrogen currently accounts for a small share of production, and safety remains a priority.
Andy Green, the driver famed for breaking the sound barrier, is attempting another land-speed record in Utah with a hydrogen-powered car, underscoring ongoing advances in hydrogen propulsion and high-speed automotive testing.
Interim manager Andy Green’s first rallying speech after Carlos Mendoza’s firing urged Mets players to focus on the game and ignore outside noise, lifting a weight off the clubhouse.
The Mets will end Andy Green’s interim managerial stint after the 2026 season and reinstate him in the front office, as New York begins a full managerial search. Green took over after firing Carlos Mendoza, but the club remains far from .500 and under David Stearns’ leadership the organization will seek long-term leadership changes in the offseason.
The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza at the 81-game halfway point (34-47), naming Andy Green as interim manager for the rest of 2026 after a season defined by a poor start and mounting struggles. The decision follows a franchise-worst slide since mid-2025, a 12-game April losing streak, and a tough loss to the Cubs that precipitated the move. With a high payroll and a roster overhaul now under scrutiny, the Mets may look to shake up the roster ahead of the trade deadline as they search for a path back to competitiveness.
The Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza after a 34-47 start in 2026, with former Padres skipper Andy Green named interim manager. Mendoza had previously guided the club to an 89-73 record and an NLCS berth in 2024, but a disastrous 2025 collapse and this season’s slide—despite a top payroll—have them buried in the NL East and far from a Wild Card. GM David Stearns said the change is necessary to move forward and that it isn’t framed as a pure managerial problem.
Facing a 7-15 start and an 11-game losing streak, the New York Mets are considering a midseason managerial change from Carlos Mendoza, with three potential replacements highlighted: Andy Green (senior VP of baseball development and former Padres manager), Kai Correa (bench coach and rising internal candidate), and Carlos Beltran (legend and special assistant, a long-shot option).
