Porter Press – McLaren F1 GTR – The Definitive History

Having made its debut appearance at the 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours and taking a dominating win in style, the wonderful McLaren F1 GTR is the subject of this major two-volume history from Porter Press International. Derived from the BMW V12-powered three-seat McLaren F1 road car, the F1 GTR only came about because of customer pressure on designer Gordon Murray to produce a racing version. 28 examples were built over three seasons, with the F1 GTR being fabulously successful and winning 41 of 131 races and taking two international championship titles. This collectors’ book outlines the life of the McLaren F1 GTR in exhaustive depth, with Volume 1 devoted to race-by-race narrative and Volume 2 to individual car histories and the stories of the people who raced them, all supported by over 775 colour photographs.
