Last year, the McMurtry Speirling proved to be the undisputed champion at Goodwood. With an astonishing time of 39.08 seconds, it shattered the previous record held by the Volkswagen ID.R race car by nearly a full second on the 1.16-mile driveway course.
Now, the Speirling returns to the Festival Of Speed for the 2023 edition. The same prototype that set the record last year faced the hill climb once again on the second day of the Festival – and it remains incredibly fast, even in wet conditions.
Despite the damp track, the 1,000-plus horsepower Speirling effortlessly raced down the front straight and into the first corner, showcasing its impressive speed. Measuring only 126.0 inches in length and weighing less than 2,205 pounds, this penny racer handles corners like a go-kart, leaving a trail of rain in its wake.
Stephen King, the iconic horror writer, has astounded us with his imaginative and spine-chilling stories. From man-eating clowns to murderous machines, he has mastered the art of terrifying his readers. Surprisingly, one of his most famous works, “Misery,” is also one of his most grounded.
Released in 1990, “Misery” revolves around a renowned author who becomes disenchanted with his current book series and plans to kill off his main character in his upcoming manuscript. However, after a car accident, he finds himself under the care of a devoted fan, who happens to be a young woman. When she discovers his manuscript, things take a dark and twisted turn. If you have ever feared stalkers or imprisonment, “Misery” is bound to intensify those phobias. As they say, fame comes with a price.
