F1 GTR

Road car, Le Mans winner

Customers asked McLaren to race a road car that had not been designed for racing. The first F1 GTR arrived at Le Mans in 1995 with less power than the production F1 and finished first, third, fourth, fifth and thirteenth.

Overview

A customer race programme became an outright winner.

Ray Bellm and Thomas Bscher pressed McLaren to prepare the F1 for the 1995 BPR Global GT Series. Gordon Murray's team added the cage, revised the suspension, steering, brakes and aerodynamics, and completed the programme in months.

At Le Mans the Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing car, wearing Ueno Clinic colours and driven by Yannick Dalmas, JJ Lehto and Masanori Sekiya, won overall. McLaren then evolved the GTR through nine 1996 cars and ten 1997 Longtails, for 28 chassis in total; customer teams continued racing the type in 1998.
