The Race
As the lights go out, the Rimac and McMurtry launch like rockets. The Red Bull F1 struggles off the line due to a lack of downforce at low speeds. The McMurtry briefly takes the lead thanks to its fan system, but the Rimac's sheer power helps it claw back.
In the first race, the Rimac edges out the McMurtry just before the finish line. The second round sees the McMurtry gaining traction and securing victory. With one win each, the third and final round is the decider. A perfect start from the Rimac secures its place as the ultimate quarter-mile king!
Final Results
- Rimac Nevera: 8.4 seconds (Winner)
- McMurtry Spéirling: 8.4 seconds
- Red Bull F1 Car: 9.5 seconds
Rolling Race & Braking Test
In a rolling race from 50 mph (80 km/h), the Red Bull F1 car initially surges ahead, but the Rimac catches up due to its immense power and wins. The McMurtry struggles with a lower top speed.
The braking test from 100 mph (160 km/h) is dominated by the Red Bull F1 car, stopping in the shortest distance. The lightweight chassis and superior brakes give it an edge, while the Rimac, being the heaviest, takes the longest to stop.
In the end, the Rimac Nevera proves to be the fastest in a straight-line drag race. However, the McMurtry Spéirling is no slouch, and with a higher top speed version, it could be a formidable rival. The Red Bull F1 car, while not built for drag racing, still showcases impressive performance.
