McMurtry Automotive, the UK manufacturer of the record-breaking electric fan car, the Spéirling, is going into full production of its unique hand-built, high-performance track car, the Spéirling PURE.
Concentrating on driving performance, Spéirling’s downforce-on-demand system allows tonnes of downforce from 0 miles an hour, providing track drivers with F1-beating cornering and performance, as demonstrated by achieving the outright Goodwood Festival of Speed record.

To launch the partnership, the Goodwood record holding Spéirling visited The O’Gara Motorsport facility at The Thermal Raceway in California last weekend (13/14th Jan ’24) for members to learn more about this game changing fan car.
