McLaren F1 GTR is ready to be entered in some of the most important events around the world. Legend has it that Gordon Murray drew a sketch of a sleek car with the driver sitting in the centre as in a Formula 1 racing car. The seeds were sown of what was to become an automotive legend. For more than a decade the McLaren F1 was hailed as the fastest production car in the world. In 1993 Jonathan Palmer took the prototype to a record breaking 231 mph. With the rev limiter removed Andy Wallace went faster still – 244.5 mph in 1998. The F1 was never intended to set records, or win races; McLaren had merely set out to build the ultimate road-going driver’s car. A total of 28 F1 GTR chassis were built. Nine were built in 1995-spec, nine in 1996-spec, and ten more in 1997-spec.
