I was there in 2022 for the McMurty Speirling, it was shockingly fast, and the fan running at max made it sound like a mini jet fighter, people were gasping as it tore by.
Hello Goodwood, please this year show all the timing splits. Please show all the cars. Couldn't you create a series of highlights showing different era's. Fastest car up to 1920, Fastest car up to 1950, Fastest car up to 1970, Fastest car up to 1990, 1990 to present. Thankyou for your hardwork, I'm just some dude from Australia who really appreciates any car from any era......this is a highlight every year for me.......
now THIS is a great video. and all of them are but this one is fantastic. thanks for taking the time. thanks for the festival, would love to see it in person. so much heritage.
Really nice UI elements in the early 2010s and those onboards were amazing. Really would like to see a return to live timing and splits on screen when these things run up the hill.
Heidfeld's run in '99 is still the most spectacular. He was tonking it, and you can visibly see that. That car wanted to snap away from him constantly.
Watching the marshal encouraging Martin Brundle up the hill is a joy to behold. It's fantastic to let your excitement get the better of you sometimes. 😉
That McMurtry is insane. The combo of the unbelievable speed and that wind noise is just incredibly badass. Also, shoutout to Nick Heidfeld for that 1999 run!
Martin Brundle’s run was amazing to watch live (can’t believe it was 30 years ago 😳) - it was his race car and still set up for Silverstone the week before! It was visibly so much faster, violent and on edge than any of the other cars that day. Infinitely better than watching the current drivers doing donuts 🙄.
So... No one can beat Nick Heidfeld 3rd streak consecutive title with an old F1 car and 6 title by single driver and single manufacturer set by Justin Law! Both are different beast 🔥 You can talk about that boring record breaking car, but for me it's about the driver skillset (shown by their achievements and consistency in Goodwood fest which is Nick's and Justin's)
I thought at the time the Solus GT was underwhelming, this just confirms that! Those group C jags are something else though, that chasm in technology and they're still quicker!
I never could wrap my head around nick’s record in the formula1 and never thought it could be matched. Also it blows my mind at how powerful these electric and hybrid cars have become they hold many world records now that were previously unmatched. This year 2024…there’s an electric minivan that’s been crushing everything!
Never forget an updated McMurtry coming last year, being over a second up on the record and then they took away the timing bc it wasn’t an official run
@@CrazyPanda688 OMG youre so cool! Is that the reaction you wanted? It is a great piece of engineering. Does not matter what a 12 year old on youtube thinks
@@CrazyPanda688 wow, what a typical old man commenting “hurr durr EVs bad” Also the Boeing 747 is the greatest passenger plane ever built. If you’ve ever travelled overseas, you’ve been a passenger in it.
Today's F1 would likely not better the modern specialist British Speed Hill climb cars like the Gould 59s or Alex Summers DJ Firestorm. I believe like F1 they are also excluded from timed runs at Goodwood
Watch 20+ minutes of some of the most amazing racing cars humans have ever produced, and then at the very end, along comes this McMurtry Spéirling that changes EVERYTHING. And that's only the first salvo...
@@michellambertdublablacar8356 they had indeed plenty of downforce but on the Goodwood circuit with a max speed of about 250km/h one can put more wing for more Downforce if the regulations permit. Especially if it is wet. the more the better the traction, cornering and braking off course.
What's the cut off age for F1 cars doing timed runs? I'm sure Oscar or Lando could come close to 41.6 if the MP4/13 was allowed to run again. What about a 2004 f1 car, maybe the Williams? Ferrari F2004?
Seeing & hearing these old F1 cars, just shows how much F1 has gone backwards with the excitement. And lets not mention the Group C era cars against the current Hypercars. Just no contest.
But remember, most of those other FTD cars have to conform to a set of rules. The McMurtry does not. The Jags in particular are designed to run 24 hour endurance races.
Will we see a repeat of the 2023 race fixing scandal this year? Everyone saw the McMurtry going about 5 seconds faster the McLaren Solus GT, but Goodwood turned the timing clock off just before it finished because they had already decided the Solus was going to be 'fastest'.
The McMurtry did not compete in the Shootout last year, it's just a (very rapid) demo run. It wasn't entered for the Shootout. They probably just timed it to give another glimpse of its potential.
They didn't let the Mcmurty officially enter last year because there would have been no contest as everyone knew it was unbeatable. Probably won't let it compete again until something goes up there at a comparable speed.
