New British EV manufacturer McMurtry squares up to the Volkswagen ID.R's Goodwood hill climb record with 1,000bhp fan car.
To get the best out of the car on the big day, McMurtry enlisted the help of former Formula One driver Max Chilton and British Hillclimb Championship leader Alex Summers. Chilton will get the most amount of time behind the wheel, piloting the Spéirling up the 1.16-mile course for three of the four days at the event. He’ll also be at the helm for the outright record attempt.
“The largely constant downforce is an innovative feature to exploit as a driver,” he said. “It’s very different compared to what I’m used to driving in F1 and IndyCar – and testing this year has required me to adapt my driving style to maximise performance.”
