The Brabham BT46B fan car was F1 engineering at its most outlandish, but now the technology has propelled the McMurtry Speirling to a historic feat at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, could it be an option for grand prix racing? 🤔 Find out more here ⬇️
. Nick Heidfeld had used McLaren's 1998 Formula 1 contender, the MP4/13, to set the bar at 41.6 seconds in 1999 but Max Chilton managed to blitz this by taking his remarkable electric-powered machine up the hill in 39.08s. The Volkswagen I.D. R's sub-40 second run in 2019, also eclipsed by Chilton, was not officially recognised as a record due to it taking place on the Saturday.
There are a number of aspects that make the Speirling unusual but the most dramatic – and most obvious from outside the car – is the twin-fan set-up that lowers the pressure under the vehicle to improve grip. In the case of Goodwood, the drama of outright speed was emphasised by an unusually dusty surface resulting in a visible rooster tail trailing the car as it stormed up the hill.
