In June 2013 Lord Paul dryson drove his Lola B12/69 racing EV to break the 200 mph speed barrier, on the elvington airport tarmac, topping the previous land speed record for sub-1000 KG electric vehicles, which had been standing for forty years, by about 30 mph, reaching 204.2 mph (328.6 km/H). such EV SICA22E also broke other FIA sanctioned land speed records, such as the quarter mile speed, and later broke the 333 km/H limit on the straight km as well. The prototype stemmed from a Le Mans B10 Lola, whose drive train, electrical and electronics were totally replaced, and whose positioning and cooling was a major technical challenge. Lord dryson is a fellow of the royal Academy of engineering and member of her majestys most honorable privy Council.
