"Craig Breedlove: Toward the Sound Barrier", in ''World of Automobiles'' (Volume 2, p.231).</ref> set in ''[[Spirit of America (automobile)|Spirit of America]]'' in September 1963, was initially considered unofficial.  The vehicle breached the FIA regulations on two grounds: it had only three wheels, and it was not [[drive wheel|wheel-driven]], since its jet engine did not supply power to its axles.  Some time later, the [[Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme]] (FIM) created a non-wheel-driven category, and ratified ''Spirit of America''{{'}}s time for this mark.<ref name="Northey1166"/>  On July 17, 1964, [[Donald Campbell]]'s [[Bluebird CN7]] posted a speed of {{convert|403.10|mph}} on [[Lake Eyre]], Australia.  This became the official FIA LSR, although Campbell was disappointed not to have beaten Breedlove's time.<ref name="lshistory">{{Cite web |url=http://www.bloodhound-risbridger.com/Land-Speed-Record-History/ |title=Land Speed Record History &#124; Bloodhound SSC Risbridger |access-date=September 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912055601/http://www.bloodhound-risbridger.com/Land-Speed-Record-History |archive-date=September 12, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In October, several four-wheel [[jet-car]]s surpassed the 1963 mark, but were eligible for neither FIA nor FIM ratification.<ref name="lshistory" /> The confusion of having three different LSRs lasted until December 11, 1964, when the FIA and FIM met in Paris and agreed to recognize as an absolute LSR the higher speed recorded by either body, by any vehicles running on wheels, whether wheel-driven or not.<ref name="times19641212">{{Cite news|title=Land Speed Record Agreement |work=[[The Times]] |date=December 12, 1964 |page=7, col E |issue=56193}}</ref>
