The mid 1990s saw the re-birth of GT class racing. The BPR Global GT series (later the FIA GT Championship) was launched in 1994, and saw everyone from Ferrari and Porsche, and even Venturi battle it out on race tracks around the world. Only a couple of years prior to the launch of BPR Global GT however, McLaren had launched the greatest supercar ever made, and so of course, it went racing. This is the story of the McLaren F1 GTR.

It’s a road car build like a race car that went racing so not really surprised at it’s success on the track as a “road car” to be fair. It was also insanely expensive and still is even more so today, for it’s price tag it had to be fantastic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The McLaren was F1 inspired, then the F50 released that Ferrari claimed was as close to driving an F1 car. Former McLaren engineers at Caparo then said hold my protractor, and built an actual F1 car for the road, that was actually too light for its own good, as the only weight it had was in downforce.

Especially since they've entered or have committed an entry into every other racing series there is.
