[00:07.800] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.600] --- What mistake was made?
[00:18.320] The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour.
[00:28.640] He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.
[00:39.040] Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him.
[00:45.920] It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine.
[00:53.880] Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour,
[01:00.160] he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run.
[01:08.880] After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour.
[01:19.560] However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made.
[01:25.560] His average speed had been 301 miles per hour.
[01:31.440] Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour.
[01:39.400] Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record.
[01:49.520] Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.
