I definitely don't have the nuts to be driving the McMurtry at the stonewall that fast. One of the few vehicles to convey speed via video, can only imagine what it feels like.
It's probably not as hard to drive as something with winged down force. The whole concept of the faster you go the more grip you have is such a hard skill to master.
Honestly I think that's a cool thing about EVs rather than a drawback. Like sure they're not as loud and exciting, but all that power just being SILENT is a cool thing in itself.

The NIO EP9 sounded like it was breaking the sound barrier towards the end of the run 🤣 I find the noises some of these EV's put out, are really quite surprising. Some are way more visceral than expected, which is great for us car nerds. But the sound of a Tesla tyres seemingly being easily able to drown out a petrol engine Suzuki Swift altogether around town, kind of rubs me the wrong way too.
They sound like tinnitus with the way the gearing works in them. The mcmurty sounds wacky just because the fans are going nuts keeping it glued to the road
The McLaren F1 car was my favorite speed run of all time. I mean, that V10 just screams! I miss that sound. The Speirling one was the most unique. The fan that helps keep the car planted to the ground sounds like a jet going by.
Y'know what, that EP9 is amazing for how quiet it is! Not a sound whatsoever! I'm all for the noise and fun but that stealthiness is worthy of respect!
Many people didn't understand why the ID-R was so much faster the next time round. Apparently they made the battery smaller, since it's a short run anyways. This increased the power to weight drastically and they put together a great run to beat the old F1 car.
Every now and the I come here and I close my eyes and I listen to that Häkkinen/Coulthard McLaren and instantly get my mind filled with memories from my childhood.
I really love that ID.R, it looks gorgeous, it's fast, the color scheme is great and it sounds like a swarm of angry hornets. I wish VW, considering their close partnership with Rimac through their other brands Bugatti and Porsche, would make a streetcar based on the design. The MP4/13 was neat as well. As for the Spierling, it looks like a cartoony Batmobile and it definitely has that pace too, unreal.
The cardio of the camera man has to be astonishing to not just stay ahead but to setup his gear for each take is definitely worth mentioning. Hats off.
I am NOT an EV fan by any stretch of the imagination but that McMurty is just insane up that hill i wonder if it has the battery life for pikes peak it would be stunning there especially if it set a new record .
I believe they are preparing it for pikes peak. It would most certainly set a record there. It is so ridiculous with its grip and acceleration it looks unreal. Almost like you are watching a arcade style racing game.
Mercedes McLaren F1 car was an incredibly voracious and edgy animal on that run. I wanted to keep its powerful wild engine note in my head until the end of time, it was absolutely gorgeous ⚡️
01:09 ... el de Lole !!! The Williams - Ford Cosworth FW07B participated in the 1980 F1 World Championship. The car was designed by Patrick Head, partner with Frank Williams of the team. The Ford Cosworth DFV engine was very reliable at the time and the British team’s single-seat car took full advantage of the ground effect. The FW07 model competed for three consecutive seasons in the World Championships of 1979, 1980 and 1981. In the FW07B the two fins on the side bellies were removed, in front of the rear wheels present in the previous year’s version. Carlos Reutemann with Williams - Ford Cosworth FW07B n.28 finished third in the Formula 1 World Champion 1980 with one victory in season. The Argentine driver obtained the best result in the Grand Prix of Monaco at Montecarlo circuit with a first place in addition to seven podium in season. With the team mate Alan Jones the Williams team obtained the first place in the constructors’ championship. The championship was won by the William FW07B of Alan Jones.
At first I thought listening to those electric cars that they are awfull, but that Mcmurty. It kind a reminded of me what it must be felt when Jet engines were introduced in aviation.
I hope that we eventually get the Volkswagen Motorsport I.D R and the McMurtry Spéirling in "Forza Horizon 5". The VW I.D R was my favorite car in "Forza Horizon 4".
Epic video, thanks! Acknowledging what a time of transition we're in as the McMurty takes the prize. And yet how could I ever forget (or forgoe) those 90's F1 cars and all they represent. They'll be distantly remembered museum pieces soon enough.
Love this benchmark for motorsport, brings it all together, shoutout to the MP4 for sheer sound but i hope this climb stays controlled by cyrrent crew... They made it mean something
Normally I'd hate on electric cars, but it's the festival of SPEED, not the festival of SOUND...The NIO more than deserves that spot, it was a phenomenal run
Not sure if they aren't allowed (Hiedfield did after all) but if a modern F1 car did the run, not only would it probably win but would kinda ruin the point of the timed runs dont you think?
Something like the McMurtry should be banned too, the speed is insane but with the basic safety at the track it’s just asking for a disaster to happen one day.
This concept is so pure, this event and the Top Gear "Star in a reasonably priced car:" concept. I don't know why there isn't a series of major events based on one or both of these concepts. I mean I know there are some events, but I'm talking F1 or NASCAR level. Maybe once a month, at different tracks, one lap of truth, best car and/or best driver takes the honours. I'd watch it.
Way too risky for those famous drivers to do every month lol Insurance nightmare🤣 Still, most weekends we have motorcycle road racing.. Street Circuits for cars, Hill Climbs events going on from amateur to pro level. That should scratch the same itch for most people. Support your local events guys.

i gotta say the Jag is most impressive for me - it's ancient compared to most of the others and takes serious skill to weave it up the hill, amazing drive
Daaaaaaam the takeoff of that McMurtry is insane. I wonder what the g forces are at takeoff. Even the Marshall was like: wt actual f??? And he at least saw all cars from that day and maybe even more in other years.

@@chrisstopher2277 that’s kind of what I was implying. That they know the 919 is faster in most cases but don’t want to embarrass their own electric car.

that Jaguar looked like a BEAST to drive
At those speeds they all require lots of skill.... Each car would have its own idiosyncrasies so you can't really pick one over the others in my opinion
All *non-asthma-sounding* vehicles took the most skill.
Love how the marshal at the start line for the McMurty jumps and then shrugs as if to say, "where's it gone??"
I see that too, standing next to the fastest cars on the planet all day and when that thing takes off he acts like it's a magic trick.

It was because he jumped the start, the marshal was responding to the guys in race control.
