GRID Autosport - Test lap at Indianapolis GP Circuit ft. McLaren F1 GTR

Topic : Cars testing in GRID Autosport ------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the McLaren F1 GTR : The McLaren F1 GTR is a racing variant of the McLaren F1 sports car first produced in 1995 for grand touring style racing, such as the BPR Global GT Series, FIA GT Championship, JGTC, and British GT Championship. It was powered by the naturally aspirated BMW S70/2 V12 engine. It is most famous for its overall victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans where it won against faster purpose-built prototypes in very wet conditions. The F1 GTR raced internationally until 2005 when the final race chassis was retired. Engine : The engine compared to the normal F1 saw extensive modification, with a stroke reduction bringing the BMW S70 V12 down to 5,990 cubic centimetres (366 cu in) in an attempt to prolong the life of the engines, while still maintaining the air restrictor-controlled 600 metric horsepower (441 kW). The standard gearbox was replaced with a new X-trac 6-speed sequential transmission. Performance : Ofc yall know about the Lemans History this car has... At Le Mans 1995, the Kokusai Kaihatsu McLaren obtained victory and the highest practice top speed of the year, reaching 281 km/h (174.605 mph) on the Mulsanne Straight. Following the success of the 1995 season, McLaren set forth to upgrade the car to remain competitive, especially against the threat of newer sports cars appearing such as the Ferrari F50 GT (which was withdrawn quickly) and the Porsche 911 GT1. They were assisted by BMW Motorsport, who at the time decided to use their connection to McLaren to enter sports car racing by running their own race team with F1 GTRs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other related videos :    • GRID   ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You opinions : How was it ?
