THE STORY

Most people stop. He didn’t.

At the first sign of doubt. At the edge of what feels possible. At the moment it gets hard, most people stop. At 74, Rosco looked at all of that and chose something bigger. A 1,000mph mission. Engineered on Australian soil. Built to world-record standards. Not as a concept. Not as a dream. As a real, funded attempt. This is not about speed. It’s about proving that limits are not real unless we accept them. And this only happens if people step forward. Not to watch. To be part of it.

STEP INTO IT

You’re not donating.
You’re taking your place in history!

Every name becomes a permanent part of the mission record.
This record is built by those who step forward before it’s broken.
History doesn’t remember those who watched; it remembers those who stepped in.

– ROSCO 1000 Engineering Brief.

FAQ’S

Questions – The ones people ask first.

Yes. ROSCO 1000 is a real, engineered land speed program with decades of proven records and global credibility. This is not a concept; it is an active build targeting the 1,000mph barrier on Queensland soil.

It depends on your tier, from a personalised digital certificate and newsletter access at $50, through to physical apparel, a signed print, name on the vehicle, and VIP access at the higher levels. Every tier includes your name in the permanent Roll of Honour.

Yes. From The Trailblazer tier ($1,000) upward, supporters receive invitations to live test days. The record attempt itself includes VIP access at $2,500 and above.

The timeline is driven by the build and funding program. All supporters receive direct updates from the team as milestones are reached, before anything goes public.

Please check with your accountant or financial adviser regarding your specific circumstances. Details on the program’s deductibility status are available on request.

History doesn’t remember those who watched. It remembers those who stepped in.
