1995 McLaren F1 Le Mans Victory 10th AnniversarySource: McLarenLondon, United Kingdom portfolio | web site Posted: 11 Jul 2005 McLAREN CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF LE MANS VICTORY This year marks the 10th anniversary of the McLaren F1 GTR's historic victory at the 24 Heures du Mans. The McLaren F1 GTR was developed from the F1 road car, and proved highly effective in the four hour GT races in 1995, its first season of racing. Le Mans that year was to be McLaren's first attempt at the world's most prestigious endurance race. McLaren decided to update GTR01 - the original test car - and enter it to augment the five customer cars that had been running all season. It was this car, piloted by former Formula 1 racers JJ Lehto and Yannick Dalmas and experienced Japanese driver Masanori Sekiya that took the chequered flag after a race full of drama. McLaren F1 GTRs finished 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th, not only winning the race at its first attempt, but totally dominating this most gruelling of events. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, a commemorative version of the Limited Edition of the ‘Driving Ambition' book is being produced, which will include a DVD of the historic 1995 Le Mans race and a limited edition print. The Limited Edition of "Driving Ambition" details in over 400 pages the definitive story of the conception, production and history of the McLaren F1 road car and the Le Mans F1 GTR. Details will follow shortly, so stay tuned to www.mclaren.com or www.mclarencars.com for further information.

From WikipediaThe McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. Originally a concept conceived by Gordon Murray, he convinced Ron Dennis to back the project and engaged Peter Stevens to design the exterior of the car. On 31 March 1998, it set the record for the fastest road car in the world, topping at 231 mph (372 km/h) with rev limiter on, and 242.95 mph (391 km/h) with rev limiter removed. |
