This is a very different book from the traditional speed-merchant
genre. Richard Noble has had the ambition all his adult life to see
Britain excel in engineering on the world stage and throw off the
country's dismal culture of safety first and risk aversion. His
achievements in the highly insecure world of record-breaking
emphatically demonstrate his commitment to his cause: he brought
the Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 when he drove his
Thrust 2 car to 633mph and 14 years later he led the ThrustSSC team
to achieve the first supersonic record at 763mph with Andy Green
driving. In his book Take Risk! he tells the extraordinary stories
of his 11 projects in record-breaking and aviation that all saw
people and companies go out of their way to join him in his
exciting endeavours - and take risk.
