I definitely understand that. I just have a slightly different list of cars for which I would give up my pet or first child (not the right leg though - I need that to drive!). I would say that the prettiest cars available right now in my opinion are probably the Ferrari 458 Speciale, the LaFerrari, the Lamborghini Huracan, and the Porsche 918 (which is probably my favorite of all of them, as far as looks go). I do know a lot of people who love the look of the P1 though.

I think that is the exact same car Clarkson drove on Top Gear. Think it has the same license plate. Will have to look and see if I still have that episode on DVR.

Same license plate. It was on the 2/9 episode of TG at about 55 minute mark.

I watched about 40 seconds, that helmet mounted go-pro is just awful.

Die$eL · 08-27-2014, 06:27 AM

Damn that mono is quick but the McLaren is crazy on the straights!!!!

serialk11r · 08-27-2014, 09:52 AM

Wow, maybe I need a turbo too...

BRZZZZZZZZZZ · 08-27-2014, 09:52 AM

Impressive. I wish lapping days were like that over here.

ZionsWrath · 08-27-2014, 09:55 AM

And then the mclaren driver attended his second track event

And then the "BAC mono" had to take his car home in the rain

Also, what kind of track event is this where they allow passing at will and what seems to be quite some driver skill disparity.

It looks cool on video but if one of those less skilled drivers you are passing in an "inferior" car (or "superior" in the case of this video) drove into you as you passed you would have second thoughts about that statement.

I meant in terms of serious cars coming to the track, to many clapped out cars and people with carbon fibre everything that lose wheels on the track because they run 30mm spacers with three turns on their lugs up here...

Ammonia · 08-28-2014, 11:22 AM

Wow, that mono driver is pretty damn good. The P1 driver was either unable or unwilling to put his car through its paces, seemed like

So yea, the P1 was driven by a casual car collector, and the mono was driven by a professional, hence the disparity.
