McLaren F1 - BTS with DTS - Ep. 5

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In its day, the McLaren F1 seized headlines for its record-breaking top speed, but in reality, that was never one of the car’s performance objectives and it is actually one of the least interesting features of the car. In this video, Derek Tam-Scott discusses many of the more interesting parts of the F1.
Such as the fact that the car’s designer, Gordon Murray, tried to be allowed to sit in the car while it was crash tested. Or the fact that it’s almost exactly the same size as a Porsche Boxster. And 10 inches shorter than a modern 911, 2.5 feet shorter than an XJ220, and 700 pounds lighter than either. Or the fact that the production manager for the car once spent an entire weekend going to grocery stores looking for the perfect eggplant (well, aubergine) to match its color at the request of the customer who had ordered a car. And much more.
The car is of course one of the most revered and desired cars of all time. Derek asks (and answers) whether it’s overhyped or whether the car truly does deserve the attention it receives. He also explores the origins of the car, starting with Gordon Murray’s Formula 1 cars at Brabham and McLaren, and on through the development of the F1, including why the car is powered by a BMW Motorsport engine. In the course of this discussion, he reveals the almost innumerable reasons why the car is so unlike any other car before or since, a key part of its enduring legacy.
BTS (behind the scenes) with DTS:
Derek Tam-Scott’s spirit age is excess of 75 years old, and nowhere is that clearer than his taste in cars. At age 16, he went to work at one of the United States' foremost vintage car dealers, which cemented his elderly taste. Now with a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving, and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced many of the world’s most iconic cars. And even liked some of them.
Most of the car enthusiasts of Derek’s generation (and well, let’s be honest, even a generation or two before him) don’t have much experience with the magic of vintage cars prior to the 1980s, and therefore lack the knowledge and exposure to get genuinely excited about them. The goal of BTS is to give an insider’s perspective on why these cars particularly are great...or at least interesting and noteworthy. Derek brings his encyclopedic knowledge and broad experience together to contextualize these cars to give the audience understanding of both why it matters, and what it’s actually like to experience the cars.

    I was fortunate enough to see F1 chassis No. 001 being driven on public roads in Woking, Surrey. The car was being driven to Park Lane, London in 1994 to be shown at McLaren’s tiny showroom located on Park Lane which I visited several times and there it remained for several years. A tiny motor car that carried huge presence and pure, uncluttered beauty. Videos and pictures don’t do the F1 justice but I have to say this video comes pretty bloody close and loved every second of it, particularly integrating modern footage with awesome engine sounds and original footage of the cars early conception to construction and testing, could have watched more and all day long, never get bored of the McLaren F1.

    @@MrCarGuy yeah ! The F1 is my favourite car but what I've realised from a lot of reading/videos and the Best Motoring video is that it was never optimised for the track. It has a soft suspension and rolls a lot, as such it needs a really good driver to control it's twitchiness and be fast around a track. The brakes also haven't aged well apparently. The '95 GTR added a rear roll bar to make it much better for the track and they modified the car quite a bit for '96 and '97(duh). It is definitely a road car first and I don't agree about the high downforce comments made in this video. Edit: I just noticed in the description that this car is for sale on their platform. Makes sense they don't say anything bad about it in the video. Better to treat this video as a love letter than anything close to a review.

With no disrespect to Gordon Murray's latest development, the T.50, the F1 was a stratospheric leap beyond what any manufacturer was producing in a road car of the era. Even today it still looks modern and still capable of out accelerating some modern rivals. Back then it was the proverbial mic drop of automotive engineering.

    Dude what a time to be alive! To think I've never knew or heard any of this amazing details about how this car came to be yet was always told it was the pinnacle just like the LFA. Proves that 90's-2000's was the best time for driver's cars. Now to to think Gordon Murray struck lightning twice with the T.50 is... heartstopping. Just like Savagegeese's video on the LFA, you have opened my eyes to the beauty of the McLaren F1. Thank you for this gift, you've so earned this sub and like good sirs. Godspeed.

He and I spoke briefly about the T.50 project in 2019 before they had really lifted the veil for the general public and he assured me it would be over and above any expectations. I’ve been following it closely since the public launch last year and so far I’m very impressed with everything they have released. The 100 customers they have lined up will end up with a very special experience - certainly the first properly worthy successor to the F1.

And Murray already had connections and experience working with BMW engines in own cars for Brabham. Pedigree to him is proven race results, which Isuzu just did not have at the time.
