2015 McLaren F1/P1 Tour in the USA

I think several people here were aware this was on the horizon but a pair of photos surfaced online today via Mark Solloway, so I guess that makes it okay to broadcast the news? ;)

Edit: Had a feeling some random guy in England had not taken these shots. They should be credited to Alastair Bols who has attended the previous two Tour events as an official photographer and traveled over for this one as well.

Based on these pictures it looks like this year's Tour includes 8 F1s and 6 P1s. The cars have gathered at the Amangani Resort in Jackson, WY with drives planned into Idaho and Montana. Unfortunately some bad weather in the area this week may have made for a less than desirable trip in cars that lack any driver's aids, but I have been chatting with one owner who has had no real complaints.

Chassis numbers on the F1s in attendance appear to be 036, 045, 003, 038, 046, and then three silver cars - 001 being one of them, 066 being another, and perhaps 013 is the final one in the lineup. More pictures will be needed to be sure.

Some might notice the Pale Blue Metallic P1 there in the middle - that's a very special car, wearing chassis 100. It is owned by the original owner of F1 chassis 036 and I learned in Monterey that chassis 036's second owner sent one of the eyebrow panels from the F1 back to MSO so they could accurately match the paint for the P1. Always cool to hear stories like that. :sunglasse

I believe the Tour ends today and I know of at least one owner/photographer in attendance whose photos we will definitely enjoy so I'll share them when I see them. If anyone else looking in has some to offer we'd love to see them. :)

Erik, there wasn't any GTR's on that tour?
P1 GTR seemend to be there or did I look wrong?

No GTRs of any kind that I am aware of Sami. In fact, only one of the F1 road cars was not a US resident. 046 was the only visitor unlike past Tours where cars have come from all over the world.

Here is a link to rennlist.com. CJ made some great posts on that forum regarding the F1/P1 tour.

Alastair Bols confirmed that after he took the overhead shot of 14 cars that one additional F1 and P1 arrived a bit later. The F1 omitted from the previous tally was also a silver car - chassis 067 - seen here wearing its new registration, "F ONE" from Montana.

It is still kept by the same owner since ~2007.
