THREE OVERTAKES IN ONE LAP - SILVERSTONE - McMurtry Spéirling PURE Fan Car (Power + Downforce: 80%)

Ride onboard with Max Chilton during a test session around Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit.
Incredible downforce performance from the fan system is significantly enhancing low speed grip beyond any other car on the planet. Apex speeds in the tightest corners are ahead of F1 quali lap record pace already.
Overtaking around the outside of race prepared machinery is becoming the norm with this fan car.
This lap running at 80% power and 80% downforce yielded a 1:40.92 including 3 overtakes.
It's exciting to consider what the ultimate potential could be.

"Eat my dust!" - McMurtry Spéirling

[@teinspringz]

FIA: BAN BAN BAN!!!!! That is one agile land rocket.

[@Wagoo]

I mean they already did ban it. The fan car idea originated from F1 in the 1970s

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

Obviously a car like that can't race, since it's basically sabotaging whoever comes behind, producing the worst race possible (if people complain that F1 doesn't have enough overtakes, imagine with that...), which is why fan cars were already banned in the 70/80s. However, it could be extremely cool to have one of them run a few laps to clean track before the race itself. That would make the first laps much safer and with more overtakes! Plus the public would love to see it.

[@Wagoo]

NASCAR sometimes drive around a truck with a jet engine strapped to the back to clear the track. That would probably have come in useful for clearing the track of water during Spa a few years back where it got rained off If you had fan cars in F1 you’d probably have a regulation that means the output got shot straight upwards, to avoid affecting aero as much as possible on the following car. Like how the modern rear wings are supposed to push the air up and out of the way

Everyone else is saying the same thing, but this thing needs to do a lap at the Nurburgring. And also needs a racing series for itself. This will be the kind of EV that even turns the heads of some petrolheads, more recognition through feats and racing series' will be critical for this to occur

[@Mk1Male]

Why do people insist a car is not fast until it does the Nürburgring? The Nürburgring is a track where every vehicle has to be specifically set up to go fast around it. That means it is not indicative of what a standard fast car is capable of.

Now that is seriously impressive. Looks to me like they lost about 5 seconds with the overtakes. The speed difference between the Spierling and what I assume were GT3 cars was huge. Factor in only 80% power and downforce, and I would say that full power/downforce and a clear lap should be close to 1:30 or better.

[@arkeusalexander9054]

Hypothetically around 2002-2005 V10 F1 lap times if they ran at actual silverstone gp circuit.

[@NewBeginnings571]

And I also wonder if they could lower the downforce for the straights for a bit to help with acceleration. But it could be too short to do it safely before the next turn.

[@James1Hiscox]

@@NewBeginnings571 I think you are probably correct. Perhaps they could use an active flap to vent the sealed area, like what the Valkyrie has in the diffuser to prevent the downforce from overloading the road tyres?

[@NewBeginnings571]

@@James1HiscoxI’m uncertain of the nature of the oval seal under the car but that sounds like a good idea. That way you can keep the fans up and not wait for them to spool.

On the high speed stuff it still looks to be significantly down on F1 and even F2, but in the low speed im guessing this will eat any other race car alive. I'm looking forward to seeing where this type of car can go in the future with some tweaks. Do you have it setup to ramp down the fans automatically when going down a straight ?

[@pin65371]

They should convince Red Bull to bring out their cars to a track and do some comparisons.

[@callumcurtis15]

@@pin65371 Would be a nice comparison. Going off the data we have, it would likely be a second or so per minute lap time of an F1 car on a "normal circuit" but something with more low speed corners it could have a chance. Formula E definitely need to look at this technology and see if they could find a way of making it fit the series maybe with the fans active in 'atttack mode' .

[@jamarcus_OG]

Track looked dusty. With better conditions, no traffic and full power it can get way lower than that 1:40... Maybe a 1:35?! Seems to me the tires are also limiting it's cornering performances.

It also has a vacuum sucking it to the ground and blowing the air out the back. So that's part of the reason for the extra dust

Yeah - but as they point out at the end of the video, they are only testing at 80% downforce and 80% power. Factor that in, along with the delays caused by overtaking, and I’d suggest it’s likely as quick as an F1 car.

[@B88_f]

@@GraemeWatt-yf1zy I factored in the hold ups overtaking and I’d guesstimate around 2 seconds possibly, and if they added the extra pull from the fan and extra power I can’t see 16 secs being gained from all that!
