Land Speed Racing is a motorsport where vehicles compete to achieve the highest speed over a measured distance on land. This type of racing typically takes place on flat, dry surfaces, such as salt flats or dry lake beds, which provide optimal conditions for speed. Participants often modify their vehicles extensively to maximize performance, focusing on aerodynamics and engine power. Events are usually organized by various organizations, and records are officially recognized by bodies like the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The thrill of pushing the limits of speed attracts both amateur and professional racers alike.
