Less than a month ago, Bloodhound LSR owner Ian Warhurst believed the massive jet/rocket-propelled car could still make it back to Hakskeen Pan for a run at the world land-speed record in 2021. Now, with the coronavirus pandemic putting much of the world on lockdown and leading to tightened purse strings, all of those plans have been put aside.

According to an announcement from Warhurst earlier in March, the team needed roughly $10.25 million to continue after last year’s testing session in South Africa that saw the car reach a top speed of 628 mph. At the time, Warhurst–who had self-funded the effort since he bought the project in late 2018–had hoped to raise that money via one or more sponsorships.

However, in a statement released this week, he said that’s not bound to happen anytime soon.

And without a benefactor for the crazy-expensive world record attempts, this could be the end of Bloouhound LSR.
