Blue Flame VR

Blue Flame VR is a virtual reality (VR) experience that takes you back in time to October 23, 1970, when Gary Gabelich set the world land speed record in his rocket-powered car, the Blue Flame.

The experience allows you to walk around the Bonneville Salt Flats, where the record was set, and to examine the Blue Flame up close. You can also sit in the cockpit and experience what it was like for Gabelich to drive the car at over 1,000 kilometers per hour.
