MCMURTRY SPÉIRLING (2022)

Max Chilton, 39.08sec

Like an outlandish sports prototype that has shrunk in the wash and then been squashed in a vice, the diminutive 1000bhp McMurtry was of just the right dimensions for ex-Marussia F1 driver Max Chilton, above, to give it his full commitment and strip Romain Dumas of his Festival of Speed shootout crown. Goodwood's record holder is not particularly light at 1000kg, but that'll be because it's an electric fan car. How Chilton hoovered this bullet up the drive left spectators gasping above its whoosh. It'll take something special to beat it. Then again, we said that about the VW ID.R in 2019.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.R (2019)
