Fair, that settles that then, double sided tape so was obviously intended to be removed easily!
Great eyes : thank you for pointing out the size of the carbon weave compared to the size of GM plaque
Dario Franchitti revealed that he missed out buying the T.50 (fast forward to 12.00) , wrote a long email to GMurray and the next day GMurray said he can buy the XP10 prototype (heritage orange colour).
Well very difficult to not like this car. Small footprint, very light, fantastic V12 engine, manual gearbox, no stupid digital buttons.. Even the way it looks is growing on me.

Next summer when medias will test this car, I bet T50 will ridicule the whole field of overweight and overpowered hypercars. From a driver point of view of course ..
In the cigar world, there is the concept of "smoking the band", which means that even though a ridiculously large percentage of cuban cigars are fake, the people who look at the band think they're real, which means most of the people smoking them don't care, because they are more about what the cigar says than how it tastes. This is why I think despite the media loving this car, it won't convince the "band watchers/smokers" that it's better than a Ferrari, etc. But the connaisseurs will know, and there are enough of them out there to buy the entire run, which is great for GMA.

" Even the parts that will be out of sight on T.50 are works of engineering art: engine bay heat shielding; rising rate push-rod suspension; gear-driven ancillaries and cams."

I am thanking Cosworth but also recognize that GM's wishes/requirements had a huge impact on the final engine. Good collaboration. It is beautiful in all of it's technical might inside out. Love it.
Really love to see an all gear setup. But at such high rpm that's a lot of bearings to wear and start rattling and listen to at idle.
I doubt many of them will be doing chequer cab miles for that to be of concern to most owners! I bet it will be years before most of them even get to the first service distance interval never mind an engine refresh.
The problem is the mclaren f1 appreciated so much in value that it’ll make the owners weary I do know of several owners who will absolutely be driving them though

Look how long and slender those wishbones are, everything is paired back to the minimum, very skeletal, some amazing calculations have gone on there.
