That engine, what a car.

To me, regardless of what has come after, this is still the pinnacle of road car development, really the purest drivers car.

Incredible era. Production engine and trans equipped car that dominated Lemans and sports car racing!

@Nik_Roock Жыл бұрын

A cool era indeed ! But the F1 GTR had practically nothing in common with the road version. Starting with the front bumper, the windshield, from the engine to the exhaust: heavily modified. The F1 GTR dominated mainly due to lack of competition. From that perspective, the 1997-1999 era was far more interesting. When the other factories started designing similar cars, the F1 GTR didn't really matter anymore. Overall, the F1 GTR was a brief side note in motorsport history. The English, in particular, naturally see things differently and rave about the old BPR times and a strange Le Mans victory.

@@superfast30 I have to admit that you are correct. I recently spoke to a BMW engineer. He said that Paul Rosches large-volume engine probably didn't need any major modifications for racing. Likewise the gearbox.

Wow. Tiff drove the shit out that road f1 back then. I always though, ohh it’s soft, but I love it anyways. Now as an adult snd understanding people, Nigel was an F1 driver. He knew what he was doing. He kept it right at the limit. Wow!

Seems like you aren't familiar with Tiff's other car reviews. He has driven other cars of that caliber. In fact, during his review of the the GT1 Tiff states that he prefers the GT1 over the F1 GTR.

He probably had no idea, while sliding into the driver seat and probably making scratches, just how valuable this car would become.

this was the gtr version so there was no question about value that time. Now its collectible car as road car also

What a wonderful man & machine ! I always love it when Mr. Needell gets into a McLaren F1 & drives it. How he gets all happy and gushes about it like she is his 1st crush. Reminds me of Meg Ryan's orgasm scene in "When Harry Met Sally" at Katz Deli.......& "Yes I'll have what he's having" - LOL :''''''''')))
