Speed record man races in Norfolk

Andy Green
Green is selling space on his car to raise funds for the record attempt

The British man who holds the land speed record will make his circuit-racing debut at Snetteron.

Andy Green set the World Land Speed Record in 1997, reaching 763mph (1,228 km/h) and breaking the sound barrier.

The 46-year-old will compete in the Lotus Elise Trophy at the South Norfolk track on 13-14 June.

RAF pilot Green will be racing as a fund-raising exercise for his planned attempt to break the 1,000mph (1,610km/h) mark in 2011.
