Goodwood :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>McLaren has developed a number of limited-production supercar and hypercar variations during the previous decade, but none have been as groundbreaking as the Solus GT. Powered by a 5.2-litre V-10 and with a high-downforce chassis weighing in at only 1000kg, the single-seater was first shown off at Monterey in 2022. The Solus' Judd V-10 engine made a deafening howl as it accelerated up the slope, displaying immense downforce at all times during the hill run. A final run time of 45.34 seconds was achieved, six seconds slower than the previous year's record and one second faster than any other vehicle that participated in the timed shootout this year. The Solus GT has an incredible 830bhp and 649.4Nm of torque from its 5.2-litre V10 engine. It can reach 100km/h in only 2.5 seconds and has a peak speed of about 321km/h.</p>

<h2>McLaren Solus GT: Design</h2>

<p>The design of the Solus GT includes a number of aerodynamic elements, such as a broad front splitter, a structural floor with ground-effect tunnels and a fixed rear wing. These modules do more than just save weight by working airflow independently, lowering pressure and turbulence around each wheel.</p>

<p>The Solus GT has a Formula 1-inspired double-wishbone suspension design, complete with aerodynamic carbon fibre shrouds. Above the driver's head is an air inlet that not only provides cool air to the engine but also makes a sporty whoosh as it does so. The radiators are located in the side pods, which take design cues from racing cars.</p>

<p>The Solus GT is the first McLaren production vehicle to include innovative technologies including a 3D-printed titanium cockpit.</p>

<p>The race car, first seen as a concept for the 2017 Gran Turismo Sport video game, has now made its debut in production form during the Monterey Car Week in California.</p>

<h2>McLaren Solus GT: Engine</h2>

<p>The vehicle's powertrain is particularly impressive since it has a 5.2-litre V10 engine, a first for a McLaren production car. The engine can reach a maximum of 10,000rpm and produces over 830bhp and 649.4Nm of torque.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The vehicle can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds because of its motorsport-derived engine and its custom seven-speed sequential transmission. McLaren claims a top speed of more than 321km/h. A sliding canopy, similar to that of a jet aircraft, provides access to a centrally located, enclosed cabin where the driver sits. There's a carbon fibre steering wheel reminiscent of a Formula 1 car and a digital rearview mirror inside.</p>

<p>Michael Schumacher's son Mick wore his father's old Mercedes race suit and helmet to the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend as a touching homage to his father's illustrious Formula One legacy. The 24-year-old has carved out a niche for himself in racing, rising through the ranks to become Mercedes' main reserve driver for the current season and earning the opportunity to compete in the prestigious annual event. With seven world championships to his name, Michael Schumacher is still considered one of F1's all-time greats, second only to current Silver Arrows driver Lewis Hamilton. The German racer spent the last three years of his remarkable career at Mercedes, from 2010 to 2012, and was instrumental in the team's rise. With the support of his family, he is still healing from the horrific skiing accident that overshadowed his F1 retirement.</p>

The annual Festival of Speed is held at Goodwood, a magnificent estate amid the beautiful English countryside. The weekend of the FoS is jam-packed with nonstop horsepower, automotive marvels, glitz, and partying, earning it a reputation as one of the world's best running events.

Many cars already have the technology to drive and park themselves, and the technology is becoming more advanced by the minute. While production cars might have some use for autonomous cars, it would be very interesting to see if driverless cars could get into motorsport.</p>

<p>It seems that a fully autonomous race car already exists, and it's been fully developed to enter into an official motorsport event specifically created for driverless cars. The autonomous motorsport championship racing series is called Roborace, and the car which will take part in it is called Robocar. The car has been designed by Daniel Simon, an automotive futurist who is best known for his work in Hollywood films such as Oblivion and Tron: Legacy, as well as designing the Hispania Racing Team's livery for the 2011 Formula 1 season.</p>

<p>However, before this new age motorsport begins, Roborace has decided so attempt the Goodwood Hill Run with one of their Robocars. The fully autonomous electric car will be the first ever driverless car to run up the hill at Goodwood. Robocar will attempt to climb the 1.16-mile (1.9km) course using only automated systems, sensors and 360-degree vision to navigate the hay bales, flint walls and forests of the Goodwood estate.</p>

<p>‘We are excited that the Duke of Richmond has invited us to make history at Goodwood as we attempt the first ever fully and truly autonomous uphill climb using only artificial intelligence,’ said Lucas di Grassi, CEO of Roborace.</p>

<p>‘I can't think of a more exciting way to celebrate our Silver Jubilee than to have Roborace attempt the first autonomous race car run up the hill,’ said Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Duke of Richmond and Founder of the Festival of Speed. ‘Roborace plays an important role in the future of mobility, challenging public perceptions and providing a platform to advance new technologies. This makes them the perfect partner to undertake this significant feat.’</p>

<p>The Robocar weighs 1,350kg and is powered by four 181bhp electric motors, providing all four wheels with around 500bhp. The car uses an Nvidia drive PX 2 computer to process data, which includes inputs from the LiDAR, radar, GPS, ultrasonic and camera sensors. This will truly be a sight to behold as history will be made at Goodwood.</p>


Roborace autonomous car will tackle this years Goodwood Hill Run

The future is here! The fully autonomous electric car known as Robocar will be the first ever driverless car to run up the hill at Goodwood. It seems that one won’t have to wait much for fully autonomous vehicles to become a normal scene.
