The folks at Hobby Media sent us this item:

V8 Supercar driver Rick Kelly is a R/C model cars fan and he recently built the Red Bull Mojet T40, a 1:10 scale replica of the Thrust SSC machine that set the World Land Speed Record on 15 October 1997.

This R/C car is powered by two jet engines, and in May, Rick tried, without success, to break the world land speed record for a remote control car currently held by Nic Case.
