Road & Track Magazine (July 2017 Issue)
The July issue is a "special" to honor the magazine's 70th anniversary. I was pleasantly surprised to see an F1 with the new 720S on the cover of Road & Track. I'm not sure which car is on the cover, but #018 was shot for an article/multi-interview titled "The One". Chassis #018 is also accompanied by a silver F1 in several photos, plus there are appearances made by a GTR's bare interior, a nose compartment belonging to a red car and a few historical photos. The article itself is a collection of commentary from people involved with McLaren and/or the F1, including names like Jay Leno and Ray Bellm. Lastly, the "F2" can be found elsewhere in the issue.

Re: Road & Track Magazine (July 2017 Issue)
I went a couple of rounds via email with the author about the opening sentence. Due to 60-some years of historical practice at Road&Track they counted the Spare Chassis in their production total and he is unable to correct that.
Otherwise indeed a very good read. >8^) ER |

Re: Road & Track Magazine (July 2017 Issue)
Just a quick follow-up; I noticed Road & Track finally put the article online:
What Made the McLaren F1 the World's Greatest Car The article includes some great images of #018! Any inclination which chassis numbers belong to the other cars shown? Edit: I am just noticing that Sami beat me to it! |
