McLaren F1 GTR Documentary - The Professionals - Speed Merchants 

The ultimate analogue supercar! Such a shame Discovery don't make documentaries like this anymore.

@@MontyMotorsport Oh absolutely! My wife and I drove 4 hours to Philadelphia to see McLaren F1 LM chassis #2 and being 32 years old, I cried when I saw it. My 7 year old nephew asked me when we came back why I cried. Well, 1. My wife searched for one for me for years to see and she loves me enough to locate this F1 LM...she loved it too she painted her toes papaya orange LOL and 2. He thought I cried cause it's rare...no, I cried because, as a mechanic of 15 years and a car enthusiasts my whole life, I met my "hero.

Mark Merola Great to read about your passion for the F1, you got the McLaren F1 fever as well! I was lucky enough to see the GTR's race in the UK on 6 occasions from 95 to 98, I've posted photos I took at the time on my "montykernow" Instagram. You can also find 2 races highlight videos here, Brands Hatch BPR 1996 and a round of the 1999 British GT featuring the beasts! Enjoy! 👍🏁

​@@overtorque Same mate! I drove 7 hours with my wife & 7 month old baby girl* during the very last night to get to meet my hero before they give it back to the owner, I've been McLaren fan since I was 6yo(in '84) and some tears came out while I was speechless contemplating the Legend. *named McLaren BTW **We have amazing wives, cheers. ✌🏼 Thank you so much for sharing this @montyMotorsport

It's worth well over $20m

All the BPR races on my channel too 👍🏁 In my playlists.

Thank you 👍🏁

Yup. Thanks to that BMW engine haha

@@BboyVReck I wonder if it is 2 M3 engines put together or if it is more than just that. Fantastic sound!

@@rollotomassi8251 ahh nah, its the same type of engine that used in the BMW 8 series. Well there's some differences between two cars. Look up BMW M70 engines.

and they still have a new GT, available for purchase if you win 3 WDC with Mclaren.

Not exactly the F1 but there's a series following the design and development of The Lotus Elise on RU-vid here in one video. Very candid, fly-on-the-wall type documentary.

@@BryanSteacy the Elise was a complete disaster in motorsports.

I love the Chief mechanic:"I'm not paying for it!"

Super Brit McLaren F1 always will be the king of analogue sports cars 👍🏁

4 people like the Veyron more than the F1

What do you mean when it was king? How many naturally aspirated sport cars can beat it today with it's top speed. Even in today's markets, a 0-60 of 3.2seconds is no easy feat.

@@ErwinSchrodinger64 agreed. This car has 627hp from the factory and accomplished 60mph in 3.2 seconds (the closest they could get to 60mph because the car was so fast and no traction control) 100mph in 5.9 seconds and onward to a top speed of 243mph (rev limiter adjusted). The Veyon has 4 turbos and 4 extra cylinders and proof from "Top Gear" (Season 13, Episode 2) the McLaren sure as hell gave that Bugatti a fight. Take away those 4 turbos from that overpriced VW and it has nothing on the F1.

@@overtorque Well, turbo engines and naturally aspirated engines are built to completely different specifications, of course a turbo engine will be shit without the turbos. It's a core feature of the engine, not a sticker that miraculously adds performance. ("take away that suit, what are you?") The Veyron and F1 are also built to an entirely different philosophy. The F1 has nothing to the Veyrons comfort, period. The F1 is a racecar, barely road legal and the Veyron is a luxury car with insane statistical performance. I ain't being a fanboy, I'd take one single F1 over 10 Veyrons. I'm simply saying it's stupid to compare two very different cars with very different approaches, and even more so when taking away features from only one part.

The 90s recession had hit so these exotic sports cars from Europe didn't find much buyers.

I have a question for u mate. What can a millionaire do to enter the racing scene. Not for seasonal glory. Just to enter a few races in the possibility to win one or 2? Gt4 possible? Or one make without having to buy the whole car. In the future let's say buying a one make car and use it on track only as a hobby? Any suggestions? Trying best to make this dream happen. Also asking for a friend

​​​@@misterpacha1depends on the budget you're willing to spend, do you have sponsors ect

@@mikaelbihl-matias9462 nope. No sponsors. Come on I can't even do one make or even Mazda miata?

@@misterpacha1 it still depends on the budget you're willing to spend. From my experience in France, the cheapest arrive and drive you can enter in motorsport is ~2.5k and there are 6 to 7 races in one season.

@@mikaelbihl-matias9462 bro 2.5 k? What car?

Read a little bit about HONDA.

Kiwi-owned 1994 McLaren F1 supercar sells for $30,805,000 at Sotheby's auction www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/115044743/kiwiowned-1994-mclaren-f1-supercar-sells-for-30805000-at-sothebys-auction

And my friend Garry Brisket was asked to develop the GT1

The CLKs swept wins because BMW stopped supporting the F1s, the Longtail F1 GTRs were perfectly capable of matching them.

@@turdferguson3803 there were still McLaren F1’s in 1998 competing in FIA GT, the CLK’s walked away from them and the rest of the field including the “revised” GT1’s the McLarens were fast but uncompetitive by 98’ 95-96 were bmw’s best years in FIA GT

@@tonychavez2083 There were still F1s in 1998 but they were no longer being supported by either BMW or McLaren thus didn't receive continuous updates/modifications like the F1s had in years prior. It wasn't competitive in 1998 for that reason.

@@turdferguson3803 The BMW’s had the SAME 6.1L motor, same chassis, same gearbox, brakes etc. The lightweight CLK’s and the new M119 based motors were clearly quicker overall. Not having BMW factory support doesn’t make them slower than previous year? It’s the same car albeit not updated.

The problem was the car felt un-balanced because it didn't felt well entering in corners the steering became very light and uncontrollable both pilots were struggle to fight to keep the car in corners so initially mechanics thought the ground effect on the car was not working well but pilots say the car is very stable in cornering but it was like in it's own path they fight hard in the sense they would must slower quicker before entering the corners in order to keep the car on the track but that mean they were loosing 'acres of precious time' as they mentioned. So first thing they really did right since were 2 McLaren cars (each on one team Harrods and West and for each team 2 driver-pilots.. (So Harrods who had this bad issue disqus 'ed with the West team pilots and what they did first is to copy all settings from West car team, so then with the settings replaced the car improved a bit but they still got that water leak and only after they dismantled the engine and found & sorted the water leak Bell pilot from the Harrods team also requested the front shocks replacement and that was the moment when he felt the car behavior changed dramatically and pilot was able to gain from 9 up to 5 but also they were told since they used harder compound tires specially for the front that could also affect the cars turn so, after the replacement on softer compound car became even more controllable and they could push the car harder with much more confidence..

Thank you for the description but please separate your thoughts with periods (.). It is much easier to read if you do so. Thanks :)

My understanding is that the understeer at high speed corners was due to imbalance of down force between front and rear, and which is why during the 2nd stop in the race, they cut portions of the rear wing to reduce rear down force and in turn provide a little more grip to the front and help cure the understeer.

...the creator is not answering...:D:D

only with a particular 90s compad pc

It does! They need to have that old tech working back at HQ in Woking specifically for the F1.

At a staggering speed of 5 kb/s

not a chance in hell. mclaren is making great sports and racing cars again though

They should make more of this cars for sure. Small upgrades but try to keep it as original as possible would be great 👍🏻!!!!

Idk gordon murray's is pretty nice

He obviously never made it as a racing driver though ah hahahaha. Typical rich kid thinking they can do anything with money. You need natural skill and to start carting at aged 4-6. Arrogant idiot. Glad he's failed.

@@gtspeedster Only because they both never wore seat belts........ Again, arrogant, rich idiots.

Greiguci Wootchie he wasnt there to be a driver he was there to be an owner. typical arrogant comment by someone who cant listen to or watch a video properly

@@greigsanderson9673 youre confused

I agree. Despite being the son of a rich guy, he is mature and takes his role seriously. Make you think what could have happened if Lady Diana hooked up with this guy instead of his brother.

LateNightMenace hold my beer !!!!😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

you're kidding, right?

why? bugatti isnt in the sportscar market. they are in the luxury speed market. bugatti are closer to bentley as a brand than mclaren.
