Which run took the most skill?
All of them 🤓
possibly the mp4/13 mclaren run.
that Jaguar looked like a BEAST to drive
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
All *non-asthma-sounding* vehicles took the most skill.
Love how the marshal at the start line for the McMurty jumps and then shrugs as if to say, "where's it gone??"
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.
Murtry*
It was because he jumped the start, the marshal was responding to the guys in race control.
Whats the timestamp youre talking about? I dont see any Murtry nothin'...
@@LightGesture @07:53
It's insane how nervous the McLaren looks.
Because it is, Nick is quick.
Nah, bro is using a keyboard, obvious advantage
Very, very bad suspension setting.
@@dakkyun4095 Even with a keyboard, it is very tough to drive in games like in Assetto Corsa. That really is one in a million lap by Heidfeld given how much the car was moving.
@@ooleeeo the biggest issue was the setup, he was struggling to keep in on the road, if it was done better, or give it a few years and use the 2005 mclaren it would demolish everything else, irl I would hedge a bet that if the driver tried hard enough even with the surface they'd be able to get sub 35
That mcmurty is wild, looks like its been sped up 😅 The N H run in the McLaren is still my favourite, you can see the bumpy tracks makes it a real handful for him. Amazing drive 👌👌
That car was not set up correctly, MCL was lucky that Nick Le Fritz didn't crash it.
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex yeah agreed that was just rolled off the trailer from the last event and sent 🤣
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex I was just about to write this, we can clearly see that He was struggling to stay on the tarmac.
@@jareknowak8712 yeah, he also had a big lift on that last slight corner which even in a gt car is flat, the car needed softened and rasied a bit for sure
@DrCrunkMusic that driver is absolutely bananas, how anyone could even see those corners at that speed is beyond me. Hats off 👏
The moment Heidfelds McLaren hit that magical 20k RPM, I felt sky high! 🤤
I guess you didn't feel sky high then, because F1 cars didn't hit 20k until mid 2000s. Late 90s had to accept a measly 17k
@@kekke2000shhhh... let us appreciate the sound please
Can we all just appreciate the symphony that XJR8/9 creates… that V12 sounds absolutely biblical
Absolutely biblical
And an ev after it..
Special place in my heart for those old C class machines man. Look great, sounded great, just a great era
didn't that car run on ethanol?
agreed!
Yeah but The SOUND of that McLaren.. Oh Hells Yeah
You cannot beat the sounds of the early 2000's F1 cars, those cars were beasts of their time
@@bradwhite5884 my first F1 race was 95 hearing the Ferrari 412T2 was amazing but then when Williams ran those BMW V10s in the early 2000s, OMG
But still it sounds like an excuse to save the internal combustion engines times at FOS, being anihilated by EVs, and the quickest still a prototype
@@matthewmondragon2074 as said. The sound..
@@sih1095 but din't tried to brake record, what actually matters in the FOS
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.
At least it sounds cool - the fan is like a rocket going past. Other EVs just whine. Whining is never aurally pleasing.
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.
@@Underpantsniper bold statement... no matter what the method of producing downforce is, when you enter a corner you will feel the Gs regardless.
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.
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
Its not the same sound, but it reminds me of lightsabers or a (literal) bullet passing by.
the sound of that mclaren brings tears to my eyes. from the greatest time in F1 when hakkinen was banging wheels with the michael. sad to know we will never hear anything close to that sound again in racing.
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
That dudes reaction to the mcmurtry launch is hilarious. And he has seen some fast cars.
I love how quiet the Nio is. Even compared to the other EVs, this thing was completely silent and yet so fast.
I love it. Silent but deadly.
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.
@@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
@@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.
McMurtry Speirling is a little street rocket.🚀
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.
Its a 6 liter V12, but I agree 100%! It sounds better than most of the lineup. The new McLaren is pretty sweet too.
Wish the years these records were achieved was included in the video
The McMurtry batmobile makes every other hypercar look like a minivan.
That McLaren corners like a housefly.
The first time I saw the McMurtry run I thought the video was sped up. Amazing times we are living in.
Nothing beats the sound of that Jag. Absolutely euphoric sound with all those crackles and bangs in addition to the engine revs. Mega!
Nick fighting for his life trying to tame the McLaren. Amazing
Those were some slick looking cars.
Kinda fast too :)
And one clown car
Y'know what, that EP9 is amazing for how quiet it is! Not a sound whatsoever! I'm all for the noise and fun but that stealthiness is worthy of respect!
Normally I'd hate on electric cars, but it's the festival of SPEED, not the festival of SOUND...The NIO more than deserves that spot, it was a phenomenal run
So epic, my fav is the Jag run. Insane skills go's to Reid. Are you kidding me go's to "Quick Nick" and McMurtry Speirling+Max.
That Jag really illustrates how narrow the course is . . .
That McMurty looks and sounds like it belongs in an F-ZERO game
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.
Also better suspension settings it seems. First run it bounces around alot.
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.
looking at the Spierling it looks like a joke almost but then is just comically fast. That thing is an absoloute rocket.
Seems a bit weird that F1 cars aren't allowed to do timed runs, but even faster cars are ..
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?
@@racer501_sb They are not allowed, Heidfeld did it before the ban
Yeah, seems pretty illogical
Something like the McMurtry should be banned too, the speed is insane but with the basic safety at the track it’s just asking for a disaster to happen one day.
@@speedsociety9177 Don't be such a Debbie Downer.
Hoping I can see someone matching that last year's record, would be insane! 😁
Need to have the same footprint, acceleration and power-to-weight, then. The McMurtry's size gives it way more room to chase apexes.
@@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...
I would not advise it. If they keep pushing further and further, one day it may result in a terrible accident.
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.
That screaming V10 😍😍🥰
Wow- was that cool to watch. The glorious McLaren and the other machines are truly jaw dropping in their performance. Thanks for posting!
Every now and the I come here and I close my eyes and I listen to that Häkkinen/Coulthard McLaren and instantly get my mind filled with memories from my childhood.
Speirling engineers embraced the ev vacuum cleaner meme and won.
Mercedes McLaren F1 car was an incredibly voracious and edgy animal on that run. I wanted to keep its powerful wild engine note in my head until the end of time, it was absolutely gorgeous ⚡️
You know Justin Law is an amazing driver when he’s on here twice, with the same car!
There is a little car attached to Sebastien Loebs wing, so cute 😍
I LOVE how the camera men do NOT ZOOM on the cars as they are driving away!!! It lets you see the speed!!!! This is something that F1 camera men are horrible at. F1 broadcasts are terrible.
I mean, I get it because of all the sponsorship thing, blah, blah, but they are just AWFUL.
When you start with T16 you know you're up for something special
I am NOT an EV fan by any stretch of the imagination but that McMurty is just insane up that hill i wonder if it has the battery life for pikes peak it would be stunning there especially if it set a new record .
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.
The MP4/13 was a monster. Looked like it was trying to kill the driver.
McMurtry sounds so unique different from gas and electric
Epic video, thanks! Acknowledging what a time of transition we're in as the McMurty takes the prize. And yet how could I ever forget (or forgoe) those 90's F1 cars and all they represent. They'll be distantly remembered museum pieces soon enough.
Mcmurtry passing sounds like KITT doing its turbo jump :D
Never thought I'd live to see the ID.R times beaten. Amazing! Though I have no doubt that they will come back.
Best commentating: McMurtry - they just let us listen and then got excited at the end. Sounds like Keith Heuwen & Julian Ryder
the mcmurty is just an insane hot wheels like toy car love it
Scares me to think the McMurtry hit its top speed of 150 multiple times on the course . Prob could’ve run far faster .😊
Max Chilton was just Chillin to first place
That jag is impressive considering they weren't clean laps
That McMurtry is awesome
Balls of steel! Wow!
That Silk Cut Jag…no argument…top 10 most beautiful race cars ever. 🙌🏽
Imagine seeing that electric rocket flying by for the first time 😂 i guess it would make you giggle a bit haha
Those late 90's V-10 are musical!!!! Mika and David come to mind... (Schumacher vs Häkkinen was a brilliant rivalry)
I feel like the McMurty activated a cheat code with its ground effect. Still amazing to see it in action though. Also I was expecting this list to be dominated by Duracell Bunnies so nice to see combustion engines (old ones at that) still sticking it to the new kids.
It's quite incredible how electric cars are taking over... this list has 3 years with electric cars vs 26 with solely combustion engines
Murtry*
Duracell Bunnies 🤣🤣🤣
McLaren MP4/13 best song!
The FW07B fly-by was unreal, and the McMurtry is unreal to. Moving like a Hot Wheels car on a boost pad.
The sound of that Jag 🤤
Group C cars bring a tear to my eye
I definitely ran out of goosebumps watching and listening to this!
That F1 McLaren run looked terrifying, looked like he was only able to get 3/4 the power down... Not an F1 track clearly!
Oohhh that F1 Mercedes was music to the ears.....
Love this benchmark for motorsport, brings it all together, shoutout to the MP4 for sheer sound but i hope this climb stays controlled by cyrrent crew... They made it mean something
The McMurtry's a cheat code! It's like a bullet train 😂
The VW (and other e-cars) sounded a lot like a Scalextrix slot car. Nice video.
WOW i like this Cars and Speed and nice Cars super👍👍👍💪💪💪
Those SILK CUT jag´s are something else! The electric cars i can´t be bothered with tbh.
That 1 run was absolutely insane!
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.
This concept is so pure, this event and the Top Gear "Star in a reasonably priced car:" concept. I don't know why there isn't a series of major events based on one or both of these concepts. I mean I know there are some events, but I'm talking F1 or NASCAR level. Maybe once a month, at different tracks, one lap of truth, best car and/or best driver takes the honours. I'd watch it.
Way too risky for those famous drivers to do every month lol Insurance nightmare🤣 Still, most weekends we have motorcycle road racing.. Street Circuits for cars, Hill Climbs events going on from amateur to pro level. That should scratch the same itch for most people. Support your local events guys. You probably have amateur hillclimb event in your back yard.
Love your tag line "lap of truth". Yep. That's about it. Well done.
The noise from that MP4 🥰
Well now you need to add Nevera as record holder for production cars .😉
That massive wing on the little Peugeot is almost comical.
Those Pikes Peak cars are nuts. The thing is effectively a purpose built hillclimb machine with a Peugeot shell slapped on top, and yeah that wing looks goofy but it totally needs it.
that f1 car sound ist just.. perfect
Set that McLaren up properly and we’d see another sub-40 almost certainly…. What a sound. I’ll bet there was plenty of induced hearing loss done that day.
that MP4 is eargasmic
Eargasm with the Williams then few minutes later blast of laughter hearing that wheezing EV Volkswagen
Number three dear Lord, that sound😮
"Cars are some of the most intoxicating, most beautiful things ever forged by mankind". (Jeremy Clarkson)
Insane
The sound of ID R 😄
At first I thought listening to those electric cars that they are awfull, but that Mcmurty. It kind a reminded of me what it must be felt when Jet engines were introduced in aviation.
Immagine how faster and cooler would be that McMurtry with a combustion engine
Don’t think it would be faster. It was designed around the engine and fan so it would have to be a hybrid at least. I would agree the sound would be amazing if it was a v8 or higher but then again I do not think it would fit
It would be way slower
@@Tacet137 it would be way faster because it would be half the weight and double the power
@@emmanuelperrina6105 Yeah I don't think so lol.
The sound of of McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 is so amazing!!! EVs are just the acceleration. Passion is in gasoline cars. I will be miss them.
Wow,Peugeot really surprised me,its in top 10 with super cars 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I love that McMurtry I want one now
The McMurtry sounds and "feels" like KITT in Super Pursuit Mode, except that it's not sped up.
What an insane lineup: 5 of motorsport's greatest, 3 times somebody replaced the sugar at the engineering department's coffe machine with cocaine, and a Chinese road car
awesome
Nothing is getting anywhere near that mc murtry for a long time
Daaaaaaam the takeoff of that McMurtry is insane. I wonder what the g forces are at takeoff. Even the Marshall was like: wt actual f??? And he at least saw all cars from that day and maybe even more in other years.
That last one went like a scalded cat!
watching this reminds me what its like to work for amazon
I hope that we eventually get the Volkswagen Motorsport I.D R and the McMurtry Spéirling in "Forza Horizon 5". The VW I.D R was my favorite car in "Forza Horizon 4".
i gotta say the Jag is most impressive for me - it's ancient compared to most of the others and takes serious skill to weave it up the hill, amazing drive
Kudos to the pilots who can handle these machines at their peak performance.
Those last 3 cars... I cant believe the last 2 kept up with the formula 1 car (or whatever class im mislabeling it) Those are SO FREAKIN fast..... electric car or not, I look at the bodies and just wouldnt imagine seeing them racing on a track duking it out........ awesome.
Here for Graeme Wight Jnr!!! Fancy inviting the British Hillclimb Championship back? Should have really had them last year for the 75th anniversary of the championship. At least hillclimb champion Alex Summers will be there again representing in the McMurtry.
