Everything I've read shows Colin Fallow is the owner, designer, builder, and still the driver of Vampire in all record setting attempts. I certainly wish Richard Hammonds well in his recovery, but what was he doing in a machine capable of 300 MPH in the quarter? It sounds like a Top Gear report that went bad... very bad...
Here's a picture of Vampire.
and an article on Fallow's Prime Time racing team:
