It feels like we’re running out of ways to say this, but the McMurtry Speirling has taken yet another record. This time? The Corkscrew Hillclimb at Laguna Seca.

Completed in just 21.95 seconds by ex-Formula One driver Max Chilton, this makes it a second record in the space of a week for the quite terrifying machine.

And guess what? The Speirling didn’t just beat the previous benchmark, it annihilated it, chopping almost 13 entire seconds off the 34.69s set by a 1976 Lotus Type 77 Formula One car.

The Ferrari SF90 - a mighty quick car in its own right - only managed a 29.82s by comparison on the day. Yikes.

The track layout itself is an interesting one. Essentially, drivers set off at the usual start/finish line, but head in reverse towards the tight right-hander, followed by a left chicane which signals the start of the ascent up the famous Corkscrew.

It’s far from the lengthiest climb, which makes how much of a pasting the Speirling can dish out to an SF90 all the more impressive.

Anyway, other achievements held by the world’s angriest fan include lap records at the Goodwood Hillclimb and Hockenheim, lapping the latter 14.1s quicker than a Mercedes-AMG One. Chances are, McMurtry won’t stop here either.

Why? Because the most mind-boggling part about all this is that the Speirling is only running at 80 per cent of its powertrain’s potential, with top speed limited to 155mph. With everything cranked up to 11 - and should McMurtry weave in any further aerodynamic improvements - there might not be a lap or hillclimb on earth the Speirling can't conquer.
