There are not many opportunities to drive, arguably, the best driver's car ever created, the McLaren F1 GTR. It is light, mid-engined, using a proper gearbox and powered by the sweetest sounding BMW V12 ever created.
Period.
So, when I stumbled across this Autocar video, I knew that I had to share it with you! This brief McLaren review gives an astonishing, in-depth look at the GTR. From the engine compartment, controls and the best part, the noise, it is a tremendously overwhelming car.
As Steve Sutcliffe says "...it's a really, really serious car."
And if you do not believe him, look at the chap's face at the 2:40 mark. It is as though he is driving for the first time. Pretty sure we are essentially watching a man fall in love.
