An American racing driver has been posthumously awarded the fastest land-speed record by a female, a feat she died trying to achieve.
Jessi Combs died in a crash after attempting to break the land-speed record in the Alvord Desert, Oregon, on 27 August 2019.
Her jet-powered car clocked a record speed of 522.783 mph (841.338 km/ph). Guinness World Records has confirmed Ms Combs, 39, was the first person to break the record in more than 40 years.

Can't fathom it; 841 km per hour?
May you rest in peace.
