Ride Onboard a McLaren F1 GTR As It Bosses Silverstone Back In 1996
McLaren has released this stunning clip from 20 years ago, featuring its F1 GTR racing car thundering its way to victory at Silverstone in the 1996 BPR Global GT Series. Just listen to that V12!
The short-lived BPR Global GT Series became the FIA GT Championship in 1997. British McLaren F1 drivers Ray Bellm
and James Weaver shared the driver’s trophy in the 1996 season, with Gulf Racing GTC taking the team title.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Wonderful
Those Heel and toe skills tho!!
Love when you hear that noise, and the camera is sitting under the wing of an F40 LM in front. Perfection.
So many classics on one track >
Bridge looked like such an epic corner. Flat, very fast and a lovely camber.
Shame it’s gone…
