McMurtry Spéirling Pure tackles Laguna Seca and... the Corkscrew

The Goodwood Hill record-holder still never fails to blow our minds. The McMurtry Spéirling was followed by the track weapon available to the public, the Pure. When you see a car with this much performance tackle a track like Laguna Seca, it really starts to put it into perspective.

The story tells the same thing about electric powered vehicles, no stamina. Gets weaker for every lap.

It is chemical reaction too in the battery. It is just reversible, which combustion really isn't, not without using way more energy than you got out of it in the first place. Because it has to be reversible, that is what makes it "inefficient".

@@Butterfly5657 I think this was 100% on the suction and 80% on power. The extra 20% power wouldn’t change lap time as much as being able to run full downforce. They likely had to turn it down to be able to run multiple laps with it.

[@Butterfly5657]

They said they use 80% of power and suction n their last track and they have to try harder when the car is finalised In UK where they tried it they said 80% to 100% is big difference apparently I don’t know if they used more suction for that track and I heard the speaker saying 185mph but I never seen the car going faster than 160mph
