What does it take to go faster than anyone else on the planet?

On this episode of Nineteen Out of Office, we sit down with Richard Noble OBE, entrepreneur, record-breaker, and one of the driving forces behind two of the most extraordinary achievements in British engineering history.

From piloting Thrust2 to a world land speed record of 633 mph, to leading the ThrustSSC project that became the first car to break the sound barrier at 763 mph, Richard's career has been built on doing what everyone else said couldn't be done.

We talk ambition, risk, resilience, and what it really takes to get brilliant people rallying behind an audacious idea.
