- Fan car competes in motorsport for the first time since 1978.
McMurtry Automotive and F1 driver Max Chilton target victory and will attempt outright record at Goodwood Festival of Speed with fully electric fan car.
• We are entering our 1000bhp/tonne, RWD electric fan car into the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb Shootout
• Aim is to win the event and strive to challenge the outright record
• Unique Fan Car upgraded with 2000kg of instant downforce (available from 0 mph)
• This is more downforce than an F1 car up to 150mph
• 0-60mph in under 1.5 seconds
• Max Chilton (former F1 driver) and Alex Summers (British Hillclimb Championship leader) are driving
• The last time a fan car competed in motorsport was when Niki Lauda won the Swedish F1 GP in 1978 with the Brabham BT46B, it was subsequently withdrawn from future races due to its projected dominance, to keep competitors’ content
This new chapter in fan car history will be available to watch on the Goodwood live TH-cam stream or in person at the event: 16.10 Saturday for Qualifying and 15.30 Sunday for the Shootout (provisional times).
See you there.
Get some merchandise up on your website. The whole world wants to support you. The logo is siiiick, get it onto caps, jackets, hoodies . . . .
Agreed.
Well said, that man.
Yes! A grey shirt with the bird logo to match the car would be awesome

Congratulations on your WR in Goodwood, it was out of this world 🤯
Congratulations Gentlemen of McMurtry Automotive for the new record obtained. Your new McMurtry Spéirling car is wonderful, surprisingly ultra fast, demonstrating the technological capacity of your company in the development of new electrical technologies, combining the most advanced current technologies with the best of the past such as the self-ventilating Brabham Bt46B fan car, winner of the GP of Sweden in Formula 1 in 1978, when the great Niki Lauda won that race in Anderstorp. With the reasonable dimensions of a Formula 1 from the 60s. Now, Max Chilton (former Formula 1 driver and current IndyCar driver) made Goodwood history by shattering the circuit record at Goodwood Road & Racing's infamous Festival of Speed. He did it aboard his electric car, the McMurtry Spéirling, with a time of 39 "08 for the 1,800 meters of said circuit, smashing the official record set by Nick Heidfield with a McLaren MP4 / 13 Formula 1.
The future is electric, "faster", "further".
Madlads actually did it! Can't wait to see more of McMurtry in the future.
Great job at Goodwood now for Pikes peak guys
I would love to see this thing take on the Pikes Peak climb!!! If it had the battery capacity to make that length of run, that would be a amazing record to break!
Edit: Bested by McMurtry Spéirling in the hands of Max Chilton on the Sunday of June 26th, 2022 with 39.08 second record.
Please take it to Nurburgring, it can break ID.R (6 min 5 sec) record there.
I hope that’s on their radar !!!
Not just the car ! Two admirable men… What a fabulous acheivement
Congrats on the 39.08 seconds!
Never knew about this before - phenomenal concept and engineering, phenomenal result. On seeing the record run for the first time, I thought it was on fast forward - like 2x speed
Me too, only for me was 1.5x perception 😂😂
Would love to see the Spierling in real life 😍👌😎. The capabilities of that car are insane! Can't wait to see it run the hill climb. No doubts at all. Great work guys 👏👍.
Congratulations! Craziest thing I’ve ever watched. Any plans for Pikes Peak?
Definitely excited to see what this can do. Very cool tech.
Fantastic result at Goodwood. Really incredible engineering. Well done to the whole team.
We need to see this thing smack an f1 car around a track.
Cant wait for an upsized 2 seater 2000hp 3000kg downforce machine.
Only two videos? :(. Please moooore,much more,much much more. Lol. Amazing car. I was watching the GoodWood run and i coud not believe it. Congratulations.
Congratulations on smashing the record
Done and dusted! Well done!
The gasp of the crowd at goodwood as this thing rocketed past gave me goosebumps. It reminds me of Tim Burton’s batmobile, complete with “jet blast”.
You did what you set out to do! "In it to win it" and damn did you do, and so much more! congrats on the record! 😍😎
have been in and around racing for almost 60 years.... This car? made me go "WOW..... it went up the hill faster than most could keep up with driving.. there is simply no time for decision making.. barely enough time to steer... Loved the run..
Beautiful!
Congrats guys👏
Congrats Guys!
I love this machine, I would love to feel how its like to drive this amazing and fenomenal thing
Now they have to go for nurburgring or pikes peak although i guess the sheer downforce wont allow them to have a top speed such as 919 evo but its worth a shot
Different concept of gaining downforce I guess so no additional drags….and about the downforce…electric car acceleration is phenomenon but the top speed is quite not there yet but if ID R can…maybe they can too since they’ve bigger battery pack
They've said it'll go 200mph+ easy
They can regulate the downforce so they can actually have less drag than traditional cars if they shut down the fan in the straight for example like a DRS
Just watched Goodwood run.
Comically quick, Wile E. Coyote Acme car.
Literally laughed out loud as it hooked up and took off.
Initially the team said the spoiler was not necessary but now it's back?
Essentially they added it because at about 150mph an F1 car has the same downforce and increases with speed whereas the fan's downforce is constant 2 tonnes at max fan speed. The wing is there to add a more speed based increase in downforce
cant wait for the road legal
version
Epic build
All I got to say is send it to the nurbergring after Goodwood I bet it can smash the time set by volkswagen
YOU WON!!!
And then they did 1.4 seconds, Amazing.
your car is amazing it's basically a Stealth missile
Congrats loved to see what the time would be on Top Gear track?
Good luck.
How does the skirting deal with the friction and changes in the road surface?
Hyper rocket 😍😃 n. 1 !!!
Pikes Peak and Nürburgring next?
When i first saw the video of the car, (cause i didn't watch all the live transmission from Goodwood), i thought that i put the video on "1.5x" speed. 😂😂👍
Is it me but does the creator look like a young Frankenstein perhaps it's just my imagination I can't imagine him creating a monster
Will y’all take it to the Peak?
I love that it looks like an updated 80s 240ZX... Nissan should take notes.
Not it doesn't
it doesnt look like a 240 at all really. it looks like the old batmobile really, just a bit shorter.
Now can you somehow make it look pretty at the same time
How much does this car weigh?
What F1 should be
All Electric f1? 🤢🤮
@@CarLoverPhotography F1 should be the epitome, the fastest / quickest/.... Anything else is second rate
@@TonyK3130idk upcoming lmdh spec wec -series and lmp 1 may beg to differ. I think f1 aims to be more the epitome of open wheel combustion/hybrid racing not necessarily the fastest
@@a8uella Are you suggesting we should embrace an F1 that is un-environmentally friendly, overly complex, and slower rather than clean and fast?
@@CarLoverPhotography they already run Electric F1 vehicles. and yes this car WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to be the next step for Formula 1's racing future.
why not using 4 smaller motors to have same power out put and the ability to have torque vectoring ?
Too heavy and not enough space within the chassis to do so I assume.
It's just not necessary. It makes it more complex, heavy, and corrupts the steering response. Plus the fans produce so much grip it can do a 2G launch using only the rear wheels
@@thomashayhurst6547 they said wing was not necessary because of fan and there you have a fan, true torque vectoring is far more efficient at delivering the torque to the wheel that needs the most at any given time
@@leviathan19 if you think it can be improved, then you make one of your own. I am pretty sure that they thought of what you suggested already and did not do it because they found a better method.
@@orion7741 the same as they said no wing was neccesary becuse fan creates 2k lbs of downforce yet you see a wing there...
They probably don't have the manpower to develop a proper torque vectoring system on their own
whats that car called ?
Rocketcar
Shame normal guys can’t get a chance to run. A friends car could win this. Look up Andy Forest. But as normal it’s who you know not the car you build.
It's usually companies and racing teams that get the privilege to wing it up the Hillclimb... that's what makes it special.
Shame F1 cars were banned a long time ago, but it's probably for the better as they'd be too quick for the course
@@Yaz27 what are you talking about?? they have F1 cars run the hill every year. a F1 car was the previous record holder, and one actually made it into the top 10 times this year, but it was not every close to this new electric car.
@@orion7741 modern ones weren't allowed to go full tilt at Goodwood for a long time, as they were deemed "too quick/dangerous"
If anything’s going to stop crusty motorsport fans like myself pining for the (pre-hybrid) screaming V12s and V10s, it’s this nutso miniature Batmobile. Hat’s off to the financiers, designers, fabricators, engineers and driver. In a world of whiney, yawn-inducing EVs, this thing is excitement in a bottle.
Show us the proof, on a standing scale of the car producing (through no redirection of air and at zero velocity), through the fan system alone, the increase of downforce (scale measureable in mass the 2000kg delta). It is bullshit. Please show me the video proof and I will tattoo the car on my chest.
Your ignorant make you fail to grasp the reality LOL
Nostradamus is on the line, says it's urgent.
Are you comparing it to a helicopter rotor …of a 2000kg heli ? If so …. I think you have a good point !
@@maxflight777 It is marketing bullshit. The car is undeniably fast and a great engineering feat. But 2000kg of standstill downforce using a fan system in that form factor is impossible. It would be enough to get a Bell 206L rescue helicopter off the ground if placed in the opposite direction.
A rotor in free air is different from the concept of fan car, in the same way do you think that the SR.N4 hovercraft required 350,000 kgf of jet/rotor power to float? That's the power of 3 777s at full blast. The math for this type of stuff is different then a rotor in free air, also do you think it's cornering at 3G on 240mm slicks using magic?
