Der McLaren F1 - Ultimative Diskussionsthema - Fragen und Antworten
Gast hat Thema erstellt in: McLaren
Apologies for my English here, but I promise it is better than my German. To separate the discussion from the McLaren F1 photo thread I have created this topic. I will be happy to try and address any questions there might be about these great cars. Feel free to write in German or English and I will translate as necessary and hopefully get it right. For starters, Datloke had some questions in the McLaren F1 photo thread: No major significant differences with the F1 GT beyond the bodywork was the major change. This was done to homologate the longtail racers for the 1997 FIA GT race season and beyond. Some things in the interiors were trimmed a little better and the engine cover was a solid piece of carbon so rear visibility was limited just to what could be seen in the outside mirrors. The drivetrain was identical in the F1 GT road version to the one found in the standard McLaren F1 road cars with the same 627-hp and 6 speed manual transmission. Unlike many short tail F1 GTRs, none of the longtail GTRs have been converted for road use. A couple of customers have inquired but both McLaren and Lanzante Motorsports who are the two primary caretakers of the cars these days have declined to undertake the job. There is too much that would be required to be changed in order to make them road legal and it is just too impractical to even try given that you would be sacrificing some of the originality of the car. There are a few longtails that have had a passenger seat added to the left of the driver in order to facilitate guests on fast laps around the race tracks of the world. Here is the passenger seat in GTR #21R: The F1 GTs on the other hand were definitely intended for road use from the start and all three are registered in their respective locations. I don't believe any of them see too much use which is a shame. This is the Japanese GT prior to its refit getting some drive time. Hope this information helps. If I have left you with more questions, please let me know. >8^) ER- 127 Antworten
