Jacques Villeneuve to race a rare McLaren F1 GTR Longtail at Mont Tremblant

[Sami Aaltonen]

Ah couple days off from home and this Forum is back on alive!
Brilliant to see this GTR back on the track and still FINA livery!
Fantastic!

By the way: one of the F1 Forum's writer offers some clips....

amazing how heated the disc breaks are in the first image. since its normally used on the track, do you think carbon ceramic would be optional?

The most interesting comment from JV is that he says that the car is not set up to be pushed to its limits : "Elle n'est pas réglée pour être pilotée à la limite".

[Dr.D]

I'm surprised. If it were me, I'd want the car to be in its full glory, the way it was truly meant to be, not that it isn't great already. I'm sure I'd have more than I could certainly handle for a while. Maybe the rev limiter is restricted more than needed, not to mention the air restrictors. Such a beautiful car though.

No watched those superb quality images from Mont-Tremblant; absolutely superb stuff!
I think that offered more souds and legendary feelings than Goodwood, possible?! Atleast hear that #23R and those Prototypes..... Why I live in Finland...
Fortunately I was in Helsinki GT Race 1997..................

Anyway DOC; superb detail information again about detail changes of #23R livery. Superb.

The brakes on the car now are carbon. These pics from a 2007 event.

Thanks!

What is the note on the steering wheel?!
Is #23R gearbox operated forward up, backward down or otherway?
Could it be that kind of note?

The note reads "Jacques, remember this is a fast car, not a Williams / BAR"

OK.

Hard to tell Sami - it looks like it might say 'TIRES' at the end.

Another quick video:

OK, I just thought that gearbox case, #24R (if I remember right) was some kind of note in the steering wheel, some point of the years.

Thanks for the clip! What a fantastic cars indeed and the final part of the clip is
