Here we go!

If you recall the car that started it all — the McLaren F1 – one of the variants that people fell in love for, myself included, was the F1 GTR. And if you want one of the more coveted F1s you just have to look for one of the GTRs that raced and poled at Le Mans.

Seems like McLaren is following the F1's lead with its all-new P1 variant, the P1 GTR. Though it's considered a concept at this stage, we're pretty sure this will be productionalized and raced at either the Nürburgring 24 hour race or the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Why? Well, that's because the current crop of P1 owners want the GTR version.

Follow the money and you'll continuously see where businesses wind up taking their ventures.
