#16R @ Le Mans today !

Hello my friends !

What a day when first, I heard the word "McLaren" and discussed with enthusiasts from www.auto-museum.net who have seen the car passing on the road at north of the track !!!! After, I started to look after and I saw it about 100 meters then I stayed near it until it parks in parking des Expositions near track enter !!!!

He had doors often opend to breath :) and 2 children could stay 30 second each on the left seat !

Many thanks to the new owner to come to Le Mans !

Phil

He must have had the radiator fixed or replaced then last I understood it had a radiator failure

He told me about passenger belt but don't tell all details.

It has the 20th anniversary plate.

Phil

Interestingly still has its 700 BHP plates

Nice shots! :smokin:
And some interesting facts about the case.

Good find :)

you're welcome :)

I have another pics and some friends too. In the traffic jam door(s) opened !

I quote him : "the car is fantastic" he said that after he made 500 meters in about 15 minutes !

Phil

did you get to know if he will get to the Goodwood Festival of Speed?

Hello,

hi hi I have the same pictures :)

I asked him for Goodwood and he seems to be interested but he did not receive any invitation of the factory and I don't like that. I am not convinced the factory will bring other F1s than theirs...

I wonder if it is the same car in this picture. Found this on Supercarfrance.com , but when I went to the link I was unable to find it:

Wow, very lucky guess on my part! :) It's a very nice, hi-res photo, too.

This is not good at all. Well, there is still couple of weeks left of FOS, so maybe this could change. HOPE!

Hello,

I agree and I think all there who can have contact with owners must contact them to ask if the factory invite them !

Phil

Here it is parked up

I really hope to see the 16R at FOS...:naughty:

Thank you for the pictures. Easily one of my favorite F1s. :) I'm amazed at how modern the car still looks when it sits besides an F40...which only debuted about 5 years prior to the F1 iirc.
