When it comes to supercars of the 1990s, the McLaren F1 might be the most legendary. The F1 featured a mighty naturally aspirated V12 built by BMW’s M division, a 6 speed manual gearbox, and 1 racing seat right in the middle of the cockpit. This is truly an exotic supercar that is at home on a race track.
If you have the $20.5 million it costs to attain a McLaren F1, you might as well enjoy it on a racetrack where it can truly spread its wings.
That’s exactly what is happening on YouTube channel TheTFJJ’s video. Not only does the McLaren F1 hit the track at Goodwood Motor Circuit in the UK, but it takes part in an epic track day with several exotic and classic sports cars of many eras.
McLaren F1 On The Track
Because the McLaren F1 is so rare and expensive, most examples are garage queens. However, some F1 owners do the exact opposite and enjoy the experience of pushing McLaren’s 90s supercar to its absolute limit around a circuit.
The McLaren F1 is a handful for even the most experienced drivers, so it is understandable when celebrities like Elon Musk have crashed the legendary supercar.
The F1 came to market at a time when cars did not feature any sort of stability control, traction control, power steering, or even antilock brakes. These features have become standard on most cars for decades now. Without these safety features, it is easy to understand why some owners are fearful of pushing them on the street, much less all out on a race track.
Even one of The F1’s most famous owners, Jay Leno, is afraid to take his car out due to the enormous price of something going wrong.
Each owner is different and the owners in this YouTube video have no problem pushing it to the limit.
Supercar Friends On The Track
While the star of the video is the McLaren F1, there are several honorable mentions. Classic and modern Ferraris(LaFerrari, 250 SWB, 250 California, 2 Ferrari F12s), a Monza SP2, a Lancia 037, and several of the McLaren’s own offerings get to play on this evenful track day.
Supercars are one of the most exciting parts about the automotive industry and there’s hardly a better way of enjoying them than around a track.
