McLaren F1 GTR

The McLaren F1 GTR is the racing version of the McLaren F1 sports car, first produced in 1995 for grand touring racing in series such as the BPR Global GT Series, the FIA GT Championship, the Japanese GT Championship and the British GT Championship. Its naturally aspirated BMW S70 V12 engine was held by an air restrictor to about 600 PS, and the carbon fibre monocoque came from the road car. It is best known for overall victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it beat faster purpose-built prototypes in very wet conditions. In all, 28 chassis were built to the 1995, 1996 and 1997 specifications, the last of them the long tail cars, and the final race chassis was retired in 2005.
