On January 17, 2021, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the SSC Tuatara made one northbound run reaching a peak of 279.7mph (450.1kph) and one southbound run topping out at 286.1mph (460.4kph). These figures are good for an average of 282.9mph (455.3kph), breaking the previous two-way speed record of 277.9mph (447.24kph).

The run was certified by Racelogic USA. The official report read: "Speed and time data was collected with a Racelogic VBOX 3i 100Hz GNSS system, accurate to ±0.06mph, and traceable to ISO standards for speed measurement. The data logger was installed and data was verified by Jim Lau, Technical Director–North America of Racelogic USA. Onboard video speed overlay was also collected during these runs using a VBOX Video HD2 for further correlation, and is available publicly."
