Common Question: "How fast is it around your home circuit, Castle Combe?" Answer: 4 seconds faster than anyone, ever. Designed and built just 30mins from the track, Spéirling's have done many development laps here. This lap is the fastest to date. More information here: https://lnkd.in/gahAmqx3 As always, we enjoy pushing the boundaries together with E-One Moli Energy high power battery cells. https://lnkd.in/gYH_XCTH

FASTEST EVER closed wheel car around Hockenheim, on our European Dynamic Debut! During the Dörr Group Trackday, the Spéirling PURE VP1 fan car was unleashed onto this famous circuit with Max Chilton at the wheel. Running at 75% power and 75% downforce, a lap time of 1.24.43 was achieved, beating the DTM record by 3.9s and for comparison, was 14.1s quicker than the Mercedes AMG-One track focused hypercar. Later this year, our test and validation programme will move towards the 100% power and 100% downforce phase. It will be exciting to see what’s possible at other tracks around the world too! #fancar #Hockenheim #record https://lnkd.in/e86M5ztg
The FASTEST Car You CAN BUY! McMurtry Speirling Pure BREAKS RECORDS
