They will. In sub 10 years they have got:

So other cars can crash into yo / affect your laptime

Nordschleife is the ultimate test which Enzo and McLaren F1 never have done

Some people just do not get it?
The McLaren is about much more than figures and lap times, it's about forethought, style, inginuity, the package, the uniqueness of it all. Heres a car designed for the road with no forethought of racing, in fact they deliberatley did not design it for the track. The history that it did go racing and swept the boards at Le-mans on the 1st attempt says it all. Final.
