“When extreme is no longer extreme. When fast is no longer fast. When the limit is no longer the limit. Redefining everything you thought you knew. How the β*#% do I not get one??”.
Not our marketing spiel but those of / r.m._.collection when he ordered a Spéirling PURE fan car at Miller Motorcars earlier this year.
Roger is collector and track driver plus is now champion in the Ferrari Challenge Coppa Shell-AM North America. This summer, he got behind the wheel of a Spéirling PURE prototype for the first time.
Private test sessions were arranged in collaboration with / millermotorcars and / limerockpark .
Lime Rock Park is historically significant race track in the east of America. The picturesque venue in Connecticut has hosted racing since 1957, including IMSA series and NASCAR.
This video summarises the test drive day and Rogers emotions and feedback from driving a McMurtry fan car:
Remarks before the drive:
- “I’m excited, thrilled and slightly nervous”
- “Just getting a small taste of it ahead of getting my car delivered is a dream”
- “My kids fell in love with it immediately, they call it the mini batmobile”
So what does fan downforce feel like?
- “It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever felt on track in my entire life”
- “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt before, you literally feel the grip through the wheel”
- “The level of stability and the level of confidence it instils is incredible”
Reflections on a few sessions driving a McMurtry fan car at Lime Rock Park:
- “It’s an out of body experience”
- “I’m back to power so fast, pulling so many G’s, and I’m like did I just do that?!”
