39.08! McMurtry fan car breaks Goodwood Hill RECORD! | Festival of Speed 2022
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 25. 06. 2022
- Thew's a new Goodwood Hill RECORD. After 23 years Nick Heidfeld's Timed Shootout record in the McLaren MP4/13 has been broken. F1 and IndyCar star Max Chilton's new 39.08 second run in the incredible McMurtry Speirling fan car has knocked over two seconds off that time.
It's also taken the Outright Hill record from the Volkswagen ID.R. Romain Dumas' time of 39.9 seconds was smashed earlier in the day in practice, and a further 0.1 seconds in the Timed Shootout.
Is this the best Goodwood run you've ever seen?

One word to describe this run please
nuts.
quiet
Batmobil
Voooooooooooooooooooom
Wow
This is absolutely bonkers. Takes off like a Top Fuel Dragster, corners like an F1 car and looks like a squished batmobile. I love it!
Best description I've read about the car.
Almost like a sports car it's disguised đ„ž đ
And sounds like a jet
Little short of a Top Fuel Dragster (0-330mph in 3.7 seconds). However, very impressive. I am not sure how many laps it will go before recharging.
@@williamsheridan7450 one likely
This is by far the best possible advertisement for the company. They went from being basically unknown a couple days back to now everyone wanting a ride on their car
Isn't it a 1 seater tho
@@joshuathomas512 Think it was just an analogy for everyone wanting a shot behind the wheel
this wont be a production model...
They came here last year too, but didn't even try a fast run. Guess they wanted to be certain they beat the record
They tried breaking the record last year but the car was brand new and untuned
Trust the steward's reaction when the car launched off the start. He's seen plenty of fast cars but this is on a whole other level.
to a whole new level...
He had that reaction because Chilton took off before he was given the signal to go.
@@racerfink it was too late. By then he was probably going 100mph
He had that reaction because he took off before he was given the signal.
I love when people point out little nuisances like this in videos, adds replay value cause I damn sure misses that "wuttheheck" shrug in the beginning, thanks for giving me another reason to watch the clip again and great catch
The gasps, applause and gleeful laughter from the crowd as this tiny batmobile whooshes by tells the entire story

@bofooit gojo calm down đ
I genuinely have never seen anything as fast as that looked on that track. I thought I'd got playback in 2x mode! Very impressive and won't forget that for a while!
It's a combination of it being ultra compact and really quick even around "slow" corners
Donât get me wrong, itâs fast. But the small size makes it look slightly faster than it is. The idr was barely slower yet this looks way faster.
@@KayJblue to be fair though, 7 tenths on a sub 40 second run is quite a bit of time.
Jaja deja de exagerar.
Weight has also a lot to do why it looks fast. The suspension has much less mass to deal with and it looks like it's on rails. Ad to that the EV sound and it's size and it looks a little unreal and like a electric toy rail car. Well that's the impression I got from this video anyway. Seeing it in real life is probably completely different.
The tiny size of the car really emphasises the speed. If f1 cars got smaller again they would look amazing too
Yes, and Monaco can be a race again!
Can you imagine how wild 10 of these little batman cars in monaco would be?
Dude, I've been saying that for ages. If only we could get the 70s style back.
They said they tried to replicate the footprint of f1 cars from 60s
@@PozzaPizz how about full 20 grid
This literally looks like the 60s batmobile, like when they sped up the tape to make it look jet-car-fast. His thing is unreal. Absolutely fantastic
after 60 years a proper follow up if its predecessor
Looks nothing like the 60`s Batmobile, that had two glass domes as screens, targa top, cannons coming out of the trunk etc. If anything its like the 90's Batmobile.
of course i see, in the 80's iwatcht the 60 's bat series , yeh looks more like a muscle car pontiac gto
1989 Batmobile
@@eyesodd He's talking about the way it handles through turns, bumps, and the rapid suspension travel -- it looks like the batmobile footage from the 1960s where it's comically sped-up to make it look like it's driving faster than it actually can. I think it's because the look of the car is quite understated (lacking the extreme aero one would associate with such downforce) that the handling looks uncanny.
I was stood right by the track, next to the Main Bridge by the Future Lab area, when this took place. It went past so quickly I honestly didnât see it. In fact it sounded like one of the Red Arrows had flown by us! Such an astonishing run by Max Chilton after he had just 1hr sleep the night before. This car is pushing the limits of not just performance but driver capability
I've never seen anything like it before, what a machine! I'll bet you were equally gutted/amazed that you didn't catch it going by!
I could do this no problems
A modern F1 car on cheater slicks could beat it. The record was over 20 years old.
@@Deuuuce Aaaah, nope.
@@marcryvon lol you donât think a modern F1 car can improve on a 24 year old time by less than 2 seconds? đ
The dust coming off the fan really gives off the impression that it's contstantly breaking the sound barrier. Sounds like it too!
I noticed that as well. It gives the impression at times that it's smoking or something, but the thing is basically a giant street sweeper. I wonder if they have intakes in front of the front wheels to essentially clean the track in real time ahead of the tires?!
@@TexRobNC They could put hoover bags on it. Can you imagine the insides of that downforce system after a run up the hill with the grit and bits being sucked through it at ridiculous speeds - I wonder how long it lasts before it's shot-blasted to smithereens.
The track is clean now.
Batmobile ESC...
50 year old technology be like ^^'
I saw it in person yesterday and lemme tell you, the video does not do it justice to just how fast this machine is irl. It literally blitzed the entire circuit and everything else. Awesome machinery
Does it look tiny IRL?
@@mikejohnson5900 ye it is very small, thin and flat
I thought the video clip was fast forwarded tbh xD IÂŽm actually surprised that they allow spectators
@@Goxilla itâs very protected. Large gaps until the hay bails that take a lot of impact. Also, from the bails to the spectators, there is at least a 6-10ft gap so itâs very safe, plus accidents are rare
i bet that was absolutely intense to see IRL. insane
Have no words, absolutely ridiculous and breathtaking! But to drive it that fast on such a narrow track is as impressive as the car itself, unbelievable drive by Max Chilton!
Watched this do a 7.97 1/4 mile and that was when it was still in this Goodwood gearing setup, so it hit it's 150mph limiter after 5 seconds. Bonkers car, even if of limited use in everyday or even on the track.
I saw this live today and have never seen anything move so fast, the way everyone in the crowd reacted too you just knew you were watching something really special
Pretty intense wasn't it ... 200,000 people all captivated in awe, willing Max on to break the record ... that run really electrified the whole atmosphere of the place. My first time at Goodwood and a day I'll never forget!
@@MotoGoato wonât be your last mate, youâll be pulled in again and again. What an event. We saw history being made yesterday, very lucky to see that for real, still tingling.
Same it was rapid
My bro and I were watching it live from home in utter excitement knowing this run was coming. And it paid off so well, the goosebumps were off the charts for those 39 seconds
I was at the track too, video doesn't do justice to what this thing looks like zipping up the hill. Makes a noise too
Oh man I hope McMurtry will be racing at Pike's Peak, seeing this run for almost 8 minutes would be absolutely epic
They plan to
8? Probably less, by the looks of it
@@StevanNomeaud that car is probably getting the equivalent of about 0.4mpg under hard acceleration đđ
@Kris Nicholson I don't think there's any section of gravel nowadays
@Kris Nicholson Pikes Peak has been fully paved for years now, sadly.
Super cool and crazy fast from all aspects !! Thanks for the clip now I will do further research on this creation,the evening savedâŒïž
Holy crap. We always knew the Batmobile could move, but this new version is fast.
The cheering at 0:22 really sells it all. Its extremely rare for any car at Goodwood to get that kind of reaction.
The *gasp* immediately before the cheering, in particular...
I was in that crowd, right at the 23 second point. Utterly incredible to see it in the flesh.
@@rdfox76 You are absolutely right, I was there at 0:22. There was a genuinely jaw-dropping moment where you gasped before anything else, even though weâd spend all day watching some very fast cars this quite literally took your breath away.
@@camwat5193 Same here, we were in the same crowd ... the atmosphere was so intense during that run ... awesome to experience!!
The fact is you could hear the gasp before the cheers, something you could never have heard with an internal combustion engined car!
That start official's reaction when the car moves off says it all. That fast and that quiet. Remarkable piece of kit.
Its not quiet at all. The vids don't really capture it, but its very loud, like a jet engine.
@@vandalsgarage Comparatively quiet more than actual quiet. It's definitely not quiet but it's also no Mazda 767B :D
@@vandalsgarage read that the fans produce around 120db. That's a lot.
@@vandalsgarage Yeah, that fan pushes 2000 kg worth of air constantly so it must be literally match 20 kN jet engine all the time.
@@simonburkeisable Quite possibly.
I would love to se the race telemetry from this run, the lateral g's must be incredible.
Fan cars are absolutely amazing this run is incredible and I've seen the previous record, I never imagined someone could have beaten it
ok
iirc one article said it can hit a peak of 6 gs in the corners.
This is the first EV I've seen that was actually exciting to watch and hear.
Sounds like a Tron (1982) Light Cycle đ
Goes like one too ! :-)
The future is now
Is it an electric car, or hybrid..?.
Sounds just like EVERY. OTHER. ELECTRIC. CAR.
@@racerfink yep... And?
I genuinely thought that nothing could beat the VW ID.R, this is something else.

I was at McMurtry the other day, all I can say is itâs an incredible car! I wish I could say more but I signed an nda just to look at it, seeing as it was in pieces. Amazing bit of engineeringđ€đ
The engineering behind that car is extraordinary!!
Must be a proud moment to set a new record at goodwood.
10 years from now electric vehicle's are going to be mind-blowingly fast the way those fans create that downforce even at a standstill is extreme!!
Congratulations đ
Lol have you heard of the Brabham BT46? This is nothing new
Porsche: Hold my Heinekken!!
Its sooooo easy to make a very fast electric car.its very very hard to make fast electric car cover miles. Batteries are way way off from capacity to do the miles and charge rate too slow. fast charging degrades batteries faster than normal charging. Electric cars are not the future,for one thing far too many people do not have and will not have the facilty to charge at home or work.
â@@garymurphy5133 Fuel Cells could with some technological advancements.
@@garymurphy5133 The current advancements we have achieved over the past 50 years just give it time.
I think longevity of batteries will become realistic wether that's creating Motors that use or require as much output or other ways as I said in my comment 10 years! you'll be surprised what can be achieved in 10 years.
Am I the only one more impressed with the driver being able to actually react fast enough to control this thing, than the car itself?
drivers donât drive on reactions. they drive on instinct and trust
@@hamdanali2036 F1 drivers do reaction tests though
@@beyond72deepsoulfulhousemixes yes but they donât drive on reactions. they drive on instruct, feel, and trust in the car. reactions are just to correct a slide or avoid a crash.
@@hamdanali2036 a reaction is just a response to stimuli, they're all just reacting to their environment. doesn't take away from the fact that it's special, you don't need to split hairs over words to recognize the feat
@@oldfag_adventures I'll be that guy then that goes further :) it's down to muscle memory more than anything else, then you react when things don't go as predicted. "Do this steering angle at this point at this speed... oh, getting bit of understeer this time round, a slight lift off the throttle fixes that"
this is so insanely fast; it makes me wonder if those hay bails would protect any of the spectators if it crashed.
Probably.
It is a very light weight vehicld
Still in my heart have to say
Nick in the f1 V10 will be the best memories ever
That sound and commitment, and as Nick said he could have put a bit more in
Thats my heart 2nd place, the first one is Rod Millen with his Toyota Tacoma â€ïž
Somewhere in Texas, Jim Hall is probably having a quiet chuckle at seeing a fan car take to the track again, fifty years since his Chaparral 2J's debut.
Indeed. A lot of people think it started with the Brabham, but Jim got there first.
Yes, Jim Hall made decent use of that CalTech education!
Now there's something I never knew - I thought the Brabham was the first! Thanks.
Didn't some anonymous fan made the drawings for the chaparral and sent them to Hall?
@@persezyra That's a tale I've never heard before - got any references?
0:01 his reaction tho
"He already gone?"
Thank you đ
And these guys have seen it all at goodwood.
Should be the thumbnail

I have never seen anything move that fast, outside or inside a track. Genuinely astonished.
Reminds me of the Volkswagen IDR run up Pikes Peak! Phenomenal run đ
The Marshall at the beginning got such a fright đđ
I donât think theyâd given him the go ahead to actually leave.
Silent instant torque can occur when you least expect it.
Doesn't look that frighten to me
Yeah the front guy definitely jumped lol , I think as others have said he just wasn't expecting him to set of when he did.
He was so confused
This is such an EPIC time. It looks sped up, it ain't. The commentators on live stream COULD NOT KEEP UP!
Wow, just wow, just like I thought the VW ID.R was going to set a record that stood for 20 years, then here we are.
I wonder if this thing has a battery that can last for ... say 7 mins and 56 sec, in say, Colorado, maybe next year? *hint* *wink* *nudge*
OMG - would LOVE to see that! "Paging Randy Pobst"
That is an interesting question, because the ID.R has to carry heavier batteries and extra aero (inefficient at sea level), compared to a machine that, say, was made specifically to smash a Goodwood shoutout (I don't know if the fan car was, I'm just saying).
It won't. The ID was built for pikes peak and this thing can't fit a large enough battery to run the distance
@@HipsterNgariman The McMurtry has a bigger battery than the IDR (60kwh vs 45kwh)
Would the fan be affected by the altitude like a turbo does?
It was insane to see this in person go up the hill, I was incredibly lucky to see this in person
The acceleration and downforce is mental!
Now *THIS* is pod racing!!!
I was lucky enough to be stood right at the 0:22 point. There was a gasp first as it took a moment for our minds to believe our eyes, then came some laughter, some cheers, but in the seconds after it had bulleted past most of us turned to the person next to us with a confused stare, as if to say, âdid that really just happen?â Can only feel absolutely blessed to have witnessed that. Incredible.
you realize you were one tire burst away from not being able to post this comment, right?
@@tfdtfdtfd you can do no more than put your trust in the risk assessment carried out by the organisers. They are far from a bunch of cowboys. That said, it did cross my mind that the straw bales are in fact quite low, âifâ a vehicle flipped and went into a barrel roll it could potentially get up and over them and into the crowd. You can use your imagination as to the carnage if that happened.
That was my first thought when I saw this video - "Did I just see that right?". I can see the day when we will think about how we used to make racecars with gasoline engines and wings, and how we thought they were really fast.
@@tfdtfdtfd ...ah, pretty much any car could go off course. An old F1 car with 50 year old alloy suspension components certainly have fatigue concern- plus you have flammable fuel on board if it's ICE.
@@rockydesign3303 As a bonafide petrol-head struggling somewhat with the transition from ICE to EV, seeing that on Sunday made everything clear. There were numerous wonderful cars throughout the day that were appreciated for all of their different qualities, but the McMurty was so far removed it was astonishing. Like moving from coal power to the nuclear age. The future is already here my friend.
Thatâs epic , congratulations top work đ
The crowd saw fast cars all day, but you could still hear their reaction when this fan car came past! I want to see/hear one now!! đđš
Just saw this live. Nothing wow'd the crowd more than this as it flew past. Absolutely astonishing performance.
AF1 ....................Damn it was fast on the video ,and the people new they saw a glimpse of whats to come !!!!!!..........if this makes it to Lemans, Sebring, Daytona , you will need 6 or 8 man teams for each car ?????
Did it look as comically fast (or even more so) in person as it does on this video? I legitimately thought this was sped up, and watched the crowd reaction/movements with an eagle eye to help determine whether this was normal speed footage
@@JezzaN1 It absolutely did. I've never seen something move so fast in my life, bar maybe a low passing fighter jet. It makes it more dramatic seeing the dust being blown up behind it because of the fan creating downforce. Its mental the way it just sticks to the track like a slotcar
Sounded amazing at the start with the fan speeding up
@@dannycalley7777 It will never make it to real racing. The fan technology it uses has been around for 50 years and it's banned from racing because of debrees it picks up from the road and any fan car outperforms other cars without the fan. Check out Chaparral 2J or Brabham BT46. Otherwise, making an electric car go fast is nothing new and impressive. It just doesn't have a competition, because 99% of car are just cruising around the track rather than goung for a record, and there are no other fan cars.
Incredible!
Hi

Thanks for pointing that out. Hilarious!
HAHA never noticed that
That was my reaction throughout the entire run. This straight up looks sped up.
It actually looks like the sped-up batmobile from batman. It's almost comical how fast it looks....!! đ Amazing
It was probably a 2G+ standing start and the fastest 0-60 he ever saw.

Creates its own down force even sitting still. Insanely clever and obviously extremely effective. Well done guys!
Clever? Fan cars are ancient.
@Waldel Martell Which is understandable. F1 was reluctant to even bring back Ground Effect, imagine if a Fan Car is doing 250kmh+ in a corner and all of a sudden the fan fails, the car immediately loses literal tonnes of downforce and that's gonna cause insane accidents.
@@PaddyMcMe Also the debris
@Waldel Martell you are incorrect. paddy is correct. that is all.
â@@PaddyMcMe to be fair its quite clever how they have done it on this car. The area affected by the fan is really small so inconsistencies in the road affect it less. I'm no engineer so can't explain it very well but there are some interesting videos knocking around from the guys that built it
Absolutely unreal đ
Beautiful track. And the car wow.
The marshall at the start line is very surprised! Also this was the one car that even avid petrol heads were super impressed by, the comment section all weekend was slating the slower "boring" whisper quiet EV cars but when this one rocked up everyone took note. Amazing.
I couldn't expect less than this from the legendary Solid Snake.
Kept you waiting huh?
Nothing impressing about that sound though, the time Heck yeah! The fly by's look crazy! But just like the stripped out tesla's at the drag strip: yeah it's kinda cool because its fast, but not really that cool because it sounds like a scaleletric toy. Sure is quick though!
I'm more impressed by Max Chilton's humongous balls to drive this car up the hill than the car itself, which is already insanely impressive.
It generates 2 tonnes of downforce stationary, the only way that thing hits a wall is if the driver drives into one.
Heidfeld's record back in the 90's in an F1 car is way more impressive.
@@PaddyMcMe Is that the one in which he slides all over the place? If so, I've seen that one, and that was crazy, indeed.

If Formula E would feature speed and cars like this Iâd pretty damn sure watch the whole season
FIA doesn't want it. Need to keep that sweet petrol money flowing towards F1.
This car is fast, but the battery probably dies faster
This car probably only has enough battery to do one lap.
Get bigger, better batteries and shorten the duration of the race. F1 teams spend MILLIONS of dollars on R&D, why can't there be a similar investment in battery technology for FE?If you can get FE close to this pace, then you have a class of racing worthy of competing with F1 for viewership and sponsorship money. People would probably prefer shorter races anyway, what with attention spans dwindling in the social media age.

This is the real life Batmobile
To quote one of the team behind it: "People say it looks like the Batmobile. It would leave the Batmobile in the dust."
Even on that short track it was a hundred times more interesting than watching an entire F1 race.
A few months ago I saw a video of that car, as a not fully developed vehicle. I knew back then it was gonna make waves.

It spent literally no time at all at Molcomb Corner, there's not enough words that describe how incredible this car is
*Molecomb
*Figuratively
But yes - rapid!
Yes, we watched from Molecomb in 2013, and nothing even remotely compared to the speed of the McMurtry through the corner. On a narrow course like this, its narrow track width gives it an advantage over wider cars like the ID.S.
Brilliant achievement for a remarkable little car.
Agreed, although thereâs definitely more time to make up as he didnât use all the track. That makes it that bit more impressive. Must be terrifying to drive⊠I mean *pilot!
Would love to see the telemetry on this run! Crazy quick!
I want this car in the worst way. Fell in love with it during the live stream.
I bet a lot of gentry at Goodwood are pleased. Brought it home lads, enjoy the moment x Brilliant, just brilliant x
SpĂ©irling is Irish for thunderstorm âïž McMurtry is also Irish
@@simon8089 Has wotton-under-edge moved from it's traditional home in Gloucestershire? Ok their founders are indeed Irish but there are many non Irish people who have made major contributions. If this matters to you?
@@colinhare4722 you can relax there pal. I fully appreciate that, but a little nod to the founder and itâs name doesnât hurt right?
Smashed the old record by almost a second, what a car
Old record was 41.3
@@R4M_Tommy old record was 39.9 set by the VW ID R
@@Aadilf1 The IDR's time was set on Saturday, official run times are Sunday's only.
@@davidb6576 Doesn't really matter.
@@davidb6576 the IDR still was the fastest "overall" timed car
Stunning.
That starters reaction at the beginning:)
