Which run took the most skill?

[@Chic-A-Dee]

All of them 🤓

[@Roterknopff]

possibly the mp4/13 mclaren run.

[@j__r0d]

that Jaguar looked like a BEAST to drive

[@nigelsmith7366]

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

[@thefinalcountdown2748]

All *non-asthma-sounding* vehicles took the most skill.

[@horlixuk]

Love how the marshal at the start line for the McMurty jumps and then shrugs as if to say, "where's it gone??"

[@Craig-zq2qx]

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.

[@NewBeginnings571]

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.

[@CorePathway]

At least it sounds cool - the fan is like a rocket going past. Other EVs just whine. Whining is never aurally pleasing.

[@Underpantsniper]

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.

[@eliseiodagiu5519]

@@Underpantsniper bold statement... no matter what the method of producing downforce is, when you enter a corner you will feel the Gs regardless.

came for the times; stayed for the sound. edit: 7:52 love how the guy was caught off guard by the mcmurtray taking off so quick lol

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

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.

[@corail53]

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

[@extragoogleaccount6061]

Its not the same sound, but it reminds me of lightsabers or a (literal) bullet passing by.

[@maxthatsit2283]

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

[@stephenoxf]

I love it. Silent but deadly.

[@not_even_me5035]

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.

[@JamesLikesCoffee]

​@@not_even_me5035you have so many people bashing on electric race cars, like formula e, just because they don't make noise!

​@@not_even_me5035the BRZ was a taste of whats to come. Tiny 2.0 liter that when youre sideways the tires are always louder than the stock exhaust

[@shadowdraco8660]

@@JamesLikesCoffeeI personally don’t like the formula e noise but it is just that it sounds too high pitched. That is just a personal preference. I like wec and IMSA sounds better than NASCAR and f1. Though the reason I’m not a big fan of formula e is that the cars are supposed to be identical but there is obviously a performance gap in the cars, and there are a lot of other things in the rules that I don’t like. Still, it is fairly entertaining to watch once in a while.

[@a-part]

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

[@indopleaser]

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

[@MarkMeadows90]

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.

[@datapusher-]

Its a 6 liter V12, but I agree 100%! It sounds better than most of the lineup. The new McLaren is pretty sweet too.

[@sTaRkZ091]

That McLaren corners like a housefly.

[@austinreed5805]

[@phnxen3rg666]

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

[@waguin7042]

McMurtry Speirling is a little street rocket.🚀

[@DonLee1980]

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.

[@spindedark]

Also better suspension settings it seems. First run it bounces around alot.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

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

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

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.

[@mobogdan4683]

looking at the Spierling it looks like a joke almost but then is just comically fast. That thing is an absoloute rocket.

[@RichardB1997]

That screaming V10 😍😍🥰

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

[@racer501_sb]

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?

[@sergeantnet]

[@fidan2fast]

​@@closedcl8yeah, he basically drove a straight line at the flint wall section... Pretty unfair advantage if you ask me... The other cars are four times bigger and heavier

Very unlikely to see that this year, the weather predicted is not the best...

[@wolfgangvan-uber6515]

I would not advise it. If they keep pushing further and further, one day it may result in a terrible accident.

[@speedsociety9177]

That was already pretty close to what’s possible and given the tracks relatively simple safety measures they are really pushing their luck by now. Personally I enjoyed the petrol powered cars in these top10 more anyway, even if they were a bit slower.

[@neilreid2298]

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

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.

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.
