Top 10 fastest Festival of Speed Shootout times ever 

Which run 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??"

It's insane how nervous the McLaren looks.

That mcmurty is wild, looks like its been sped up 😅 The N H run in the McLaren is still my favourite, you can see the bumpy tracks makes it a real handful for him. Amazing drive 👌👌

The moment Heidfelds McLaren hit that magical 20k RPM, I felt sky high! 🤤

Can we all just appreciate the symphony that XJR8/9 creates… that V12 sounds absolutely biblical

Yeah but The SOUND of that McLaren.. Oh Hells Yeah

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.

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.

the sound of that mclaren brings tears to my eyes. from the greatest time in F1 when hakkinen was banging wheels with the michael. sad to know we will never hear anything close to that sound again in racing.

came for the times; stayed for the sound. edit: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="472">7:52</a> love how the guy was caught off guard by the mcmurtray taking off so quick lol

That dudes reaction to the mcmurtry launch is hilarious. And he has seen some fast cars.

I love how quiet the Nio is. Even compared to the other EVs, this thing was completely silent and yet so fast.

McMurtry Speirling is a little street rocket.🚀

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.

Wish the years these records were achieved was included in the video

That McLaren corners like a housefly.

The McMurtry batmobile makes every other hypercar look like a minivan.

Nothing beats the sound of that Jag. Absolutely euphoric sound with all those crackles and bangs in addition to the engine revs. Mega!

The first time I saw the McMurtry run I thought the video was sped up. Amazing times we are living in.

Nick fighting for his life trying to tame the McLaren. Amazing

Those were some slick looking cars.

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!

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

So epic, my fav is the Jag run. Insane skills go's to Reid. Are you kidding me go's to "Quick Nick" and McMurtry Speirling+Max.

That Jag really illustrates how narrow the course is . . .

That McMurty looks and sounds like it belongs in an F-ZERO game

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.

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.

Seems a bit weird that F1 cars aren't allowed to do timed runs, but even faster cars are ..

Hoping I can see someone matching that last year's record, would be insane! 😁

That screaming V10 😍😍🥰

Wow- was that cool to watch. The glorious McLaren and the other machines are truly jaw dropping in their performance. Thanks for posting!

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.

Speirling engineers embraced the ev vacuum cleaner meme and won.

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 ⚡️

You know Justin Law is an amazing driver when he’s on here twice, with the same car!

There is a little car attached to Sebastien Loebs wing, so cute 😍

I LOVE how the camera men do NOT ZOOM on the cars as they are driving away!!! It lets you see the speed!!!! This is something that F1 camera men are horrible at. F1 broadcasts are terrible.

When you start with T16 you know you're up for something special

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 .

The MP4/13 was a monster. Looked like it was trying to kill the driver.

McMurtry sounds so unique different from gas and electric

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.

Mcmurtry passing sounds like KITT doing its turbo jump :D

Never thought I'd live to see the ID.R times beaten. Amazing! Though I have no doubt that they will come back.

Best commentating: McMurtry - they just let us listen and then got excited at the end. Sounds like Keith Heuwen & Julian Ryder

the mcmurty is just an insane hot wheels like toy car love it

Scares me to think the McMurtry hit its top speed of 150 multiple times on the course . Prob could’ve run far faster .😊

Max Chilton was just Chillin to first place

That jag is impressive considering they weren't clean laps

That McMurtry is awesome

Balls of steel! Wow!

That Silk Cut Jag…no argument…top 10 most beautiful race cars ever. 🙌🏽

Imagine seeing that electric rocket flying by for the first time 😂 i guess it would make you giggle a bit haha

Those late 90's V-10 are musical!!!! Mika and David come to mind... (Schumacher vs Häkkinen was a brilliant rivalry)

I feel like the McMurty activated a cheat code with its ground effect. Still amazing to see it in action though. Also I was expecting this list to be dominated by Duracell Bunnies so nice to see combustion engines (old ones at that) still sticking it to the new kids.

McLaren MP4/13 best song!

The FW07B fly-by was unreal, and the McMurtry is unreal to. Moving like a Hot Wheels car on a boost pad.

The sound of that Jag 🤤

Group C cars bring a tear to my eye

I definitely ran out of goosebumps watching and listening to this!

That F1 McLaren run looked terrifying, looked like he was only able to get 3/4 the power down... Not an F1 track clearly!

Oohhh that F1 Mercedes was music to the ears.....

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

The VW (and other e-cars) sounded a lot like a Scalextrix slot car. Nice video.

WOW i like this Cars and Speed and nice Cars super👍👍👍💪💪💪

Those SILK CUT jag´s are something else! The electric cars i can´t be bothered with tbh.

That 1 run was absolutely insane!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">01:09</a> ... 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.

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.

The noise from that MP4 🥰

Well now you need to add Nevera as record holder for production cars .😉

That massive wing on the little Peugeot is almost comical.

that f1 car sound ist just.. perfect

Set that McLaren up properly and we’d see another sub-40 almost certainly…. What a sound. I’ll bet there was plenty of induced hearing loss done that day.

that MP4 is eargasmic

Eargasm with the Williams then few minutes later blast of laughter hearing that wheezing EV Volkswagen

Number three dear Lord, that sound😮

"Cars are some of the most intoxicating, most beautiful things ever forged by mankind". (Jeremy Clarkson)

Insane

The McMurtry's a cheat code! It's like a bullet train 😂

The sound of ID R 😄

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.

Immagine how faster and cooler would be that McMurtry with a combustion engine

The sound of of McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 is so amazing!!! EVs are just the acceleration. Passion is in gasoline cars. I will be miss them.

Wow,Peugeot really surprised me,its in top 10 with super cars 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

I love that McMurtry I want one now

The McMurtry sounds and "feels" like KITT in Super Pursuit Mode, except that it's not sped up.

What an insane lineup: 5 of motorsport's greatest, 3 times somebody replaced the sugar at the engineering department's coffe machine with cocaine, and a Chinese road car

awesome

Nothing is getting anywhere near that mc murtry for a long time

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.

That last one went like a scalded cat!

watching this reminds me what its like to work for amazon

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".

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

Kudos to the pilots who can handle these machines at their peak performance.

Those last 3 cars... I cant believe the last 2 kept up with the formula 1 car (or whatever class im mislabeling it) Those are SO FREAKIN fast..... electric car or not, I look at the bodies and just wouldnt imagine seeing them racing on a track duking it out........ awesome.

Here for Graeme Wight Jnr!!! Fancy inviting the British Hillclimb Championship back? Should have really had them last year for the 75th anniversary of the championship. At least hillclimb champion Alex Summers will be there again representing in the McMurtry.
