At a Ferrari Club Rally in 93 we ran sprints at Wangaratta airfield. The damage from loose stones was terrible. Fun, but expensive.

It wasn't smashed. ... it was completely worn through. Further proof that Ferraris are made to look at and never drive.
Gee the LaFerrari will want to be good to beat that. Will your Mum have hers in time for you to bring on next year's GG?
Ok....this is pretty amazing performance, but the technology rocks. Check out the fuel consumption. OFFICIAL PERFORMANCE FIGURES - from Autocar Magazine The McLaren P1 will be able to crack 0-62mph in just 2.8sec, one of several astonishing performance figures officially confirmed by McLaren for the first time. The new hypercar will then go from 0-124mph in 6.8sec and from 0-186mph in 16.5sec, making it one of the fastest-accelerating performance cars in history. It can cover a standing quarter of a mile in 9.8sec and a speed of 152mph, while the top speed is electronically limited to 217mph. The figures eclipse those of the Porsche 918 Spyder, which cracks 0-62mph in 2.8sec, 0-124mph in 7.9sec, 0-186mph in 23.0sec and goes on to a top speed of 211mph. The P1s other great hypercar rival, LaFerrari, has only had its 0-186mph time of 15.5sec confirmed. The 0-62mph time will be less than 3.0sec and the 0-124mph time less than 7.0sec, but the top speed will not be announced because it doesnt matter. Very few cars have an official 0-62mph time of sub-3.0sec, including specialised models like the Ariel Atom V8, Koenigsegg Agera R, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, and Nissan GT-R Spec V. The P1s real trump card although one trumped itself by LaFerrari is the 0-186mph time, which is 0.2sec faster than the Veyron Super Sport and 5.5sec quicker than the P1s spiritual predecessor, the McLaren F1. Official economy details of the P1, which is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 engine and electric motor with a combined 903bhp and 664lb ft of torque, include combined economy of 34.0mpg and 194g/km CO2 emissions. The P1 can travel up to 6.8 miles solely on electric power. Stopping performance is equally as impressive, due to a bespoke carbon-ceramic braking system developed by Akebono and Pirelli tyres. The P1 can go from 62mph to rest in 30.2metres; the Highway Codes suggested stopping distance from 60mph to rest is 73 metres. To stop from 124mph the P1 takes 116 metres and 246 metres from 186mph. McLaren has also confirmed the first of 375 P1s have rolled off the line at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking. It was collected by a UK-based customer at the end of September.
I still don't like them, they're a nothing car on the road, don't look special and don't inspire me at all. I don't care if it gets to 100 mph in 1 sec it just bores me
Lol! Just how many have you seen on the road in good ol ' Queensland. The few I've seen o the road here have certainly turned my head!
PP and I drove past a couple in Melbourne when I went to pick the 355 up, he had to point them out to me .... they just don't look special .... and I'm seriously biased
I agree. The MP4 is a nice looking car but it doesn't excite me. The P1 is just hideous. Despite the ridiculous name, the LaF is much better looking and exciting.
