GTR Articles Thread

I figured I would start this thread to display all the articles on the McLaren GTR's.

The first and most fitting is an article from OnTrack magazine (November 4, 1994) by none other than Michael Cotton:



The second is the article featured in Auto magazine (May 1997) featuring the first long tail GTR in its original livery (by Guido Stalman):

Re: GTR Articles Thread

A friend from Belgium sent me these scans written in Dutch, though he was not certain of the publication they appeared in.

It's nice to see some additional images of a livery that had a rather short stay on #05R.

Found Sauc3's scan thread - mainly street cars. I figured the GTR's deserve their own thread. For those that have articles on street cars please feel free to add to/resurrect that great thread!

I took the liberty to quote the GTR articles posted in that thread over here to consolidate GTR articles:
