GTR 01R To be displayed at ASI ??

[Le Man]

If we are lucky, McLaren may!!, just may display their two triumphant GTR,s at the Autosport international show in january 2007.

Following on from their very welcomed display of XP1 LM at the British motor show. It is a great opportunity for McLaren to display their very proud Le Mans heritage, 95 outright winning 01R and 97 gt1 class winning 20R. In the special display area, dedicated to Le Mans legends.

Although the show is a few months away, the list of cars on the ASI web site will obviously grow.

Excellent (possible) news. It would be great to see #01R get some exposure again. Make it happen Ron!

The Le Mans legends display is 100% (did you read the link Patrick!)

As for McLaren adding their GTR,s to this display, Its an opportunity not to be missed. Like Erik has stated " Make it happen Ron"

[PatrickT82]

I did read the link.

maybe we should all email McLaren about this, lol

If they do bring both 01R and 20R it will be a great photo op for F1 fans in the area!

Right, could our English brethren help us out with some info? Those going from the US would probably want to know how long the train ride is to the NEC, what train lines go there, costs, ticket prices, any discounts or freebie offers from dealers, etc, etc. Maybe a few of us could get together at the show...?

I have driven to the NEC from London once, and taken the train once...I highly recommend the train. No parking hassles, no fighting downtown traffic if you miss the motorway exit, etc., etc.

So, who's going to go?

I going up, its going to be a great opportunity and im only 2 hours from the NEC, great place, if any one needs information about the show, and getting there here is the official website http://www.autosport-international.com/

and here is the NEC website http://www.necgroup.co.uk/

these websites should provide all the information needed

Hello,

It is 600km from Paris plus shuttle, I don't know yet train or plane.

There will be press days ?

[hurstg01]

floor plan of the show is here and the exhibitor list is here - anyone have any guesses where the Mclaren F1 would be?...

Looks to be in Hall 20/Historic Hall - upper right of the diagram in the "Celebration of LeMans Feature" exhibit.

Here's the list of confirmed displays:

NO SHOW!!!

I have been passed some extremely reliable information today. McLaren are not commiting to displaying any of their GTR,s at the Autosport show in January. This decision is not the concensus of all at McLaren Automotive though, so I was told, some of their own employees are disappointed as well. It is a great shame for a company of McLarens stature not to proudly display their race winning heritage.

Not all is lost though, as there may be a privately owned GTR on display in the LeMans legends area.

I had been checking the site for updates every week or so and was noticing the same thing.
