The car was showcased in both shared and exclusive sessions during the D\u00f6rr Group Track day. The shared sessions involved other track-focused and race cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The D\u00f6rr Group organised two dedicated McMurtry sessions so that guests could experience the fan car&#8217;s performance without interruption. To build further anticipation, the local timekeepers set up a laser lap timer on the start-finish straight. On June 8th, 2024, with the car running at 75% power and 75% downforce, it achieved a lap time of 1.24.43 on the 2.842-mile F1 circuit. This was verified by independent timekeepers and driven by former-F1 driver Max Chilton, who is also the record holder at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-1208064578\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-3206288195\"><a href=\"https:\/\/get.1li.ch\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"1LI_AES_10_Promo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This lap time was 14.1 seconds faster than the exclusive track-focused hypercar, the Mercedes-AMG One, achieved in 2022. Additionally, it was 3.907 seconds faster than the DTM qualifying time in 2020, making it the fastest closed wheel car ever around Hockenheimring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The McMurtry Sp\u00e9irling PURE is a hyper-track car available for order worldwide. It utilises a unique downforce-on-demand system to provide exceptional downforce and grip right from 0mph. This system works alongside the 1000bhp electric powertrain, offering selectable performance drive modes from GT3 to F1-level pace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Max Chilton, the test driver, expressed that showcasing the car at busy track events is always special. He mentioned feeling the atmosphere and excitement as he drove the car through famous bends at Hockenheim, experiencing sensations similar to when he raced there in F1 10 years ago. Chilton added, &#8220;The Speirling PURE is a great way for track drivers to experience the same thing.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas Yates, Managing Director of McMurtry Automotive, mentioned that guests at the D\u00f6rr Group Track Day were intrigued to learn about the story behind fan cars and the future for track drivers who own them. He expressed gratitude to D\u00f6rr Group and Hockenheim for hosting the event and stated that achieving another record is a significant milestone for McMurty\u2019s team and customers to be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25522094)a(2352007)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=348276&#038;a=2352007&#038;g=25522094\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 7th and 8th, the Sp\u00e9irling PURE (Validation Prototype 1) fan car was presented to track-driving customers at the Hockenheimring F1 circuit over two days.
