70/100

Bloodhound SSC is a high-speed technical sim that captures the engineering marvel of the world's fastest land-speed vehicle. It is less of a 'racing' game and more of a precision control challenge. As an expert in technical sims, I appreciated the focus on the aerodynamics and power management required to break the sound barrier. The sense of speed is well-conveyed, but it is the tension of keeping the car stable at 1000mph that provides the real hook.

The graphics are functional and clear, focusing on the desert landscape and the mechanical data of the vehicle. While it lacks the 'fun' of an arcade racer, it excels at providing a realistic look at the physics of supersonic travel. The challenge modes—which task you with hitting specific speed milestones while managing engine heat—are rewarding for those who enjoy the 'test pilot' experience. It’s a niche title, but a highly polished one for fans of engineering and land-speed records.

I don't advise you to drive ONE THOUSAND MILES PER HOUR, but if you ever DO want to.. well... then THIS is the car to do it in.
The people of the Bloodhound Programme , Ltd, are building an interesting car.
This car, designed to go over one THOUSAND miles per hour, uses a Cosworth racing V-8 engine... to TURN ONE OF THE FUEL PUMPS.
This car uses an after-burning fighter-jet engine... for THE LOW-SPEED PORTION OF THE RUN.
Truly breaking every rule of convention, the Bloodhound seeks to exceed one THOUSAND miles per hour... with a driver on board, steering it through the desert.
This App, by Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, is no game.
This is a REALISTIC representation of what it will be like to drive this car... undoubtedly the FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD.
If you can master the Bloodhound in this App, then you will actually be familiar with the operating characteristics of the real car.

Bloodhound SSC is a precision simulation based on the real-world attempt to reach 1,000mph on land. Step into the cockpit of the jet-and-rocket-powered vehicle and navigate the Hakskeen Pan desert. You'll need to manage thrust, monitor engine health, and maintain perfect steering to survive the sound barrier. With realistic physics and detailed telemetry, it’s the ultimate challenge for fans of speed and engineering.

Features

Authentic supersonic physics simulation

Accurate Hakskeen Pan desert environment

Detailed cockpit and telemetry data

Educational content about the real SSC project

Tips

Supersonic Steering

Once you pass 700mph, your steering input becomes extremely sensitive. Use tiny taps rather than holding the joystick to avoid a high-speed rollover that will destroy the car instantly.

System Management

Keep a close eye on the 'Temperature' gauge. If your jet engine overheats, your thrust will drop, making it impossible to hit the record speed. Use the airbrakes sparingly to cool down without losing too much momentum.
