How about a game? List your best info / show your best pic(s) on the F1 using the next letter of the alphabet. If someone else thinks they have a better pic / better info using your letter they must quote your example and then add theirs to their reply

I'll start - A



Albert - the mule based on an Ultima kit car (they were thinking of using a Ferrari Testarossa, but that was thought to be too extravagant. If they did it may have ended up cheaper for them ) for the gearbox testing, checking the potential of carbon brakes on a road car and to prove the centre seat layout for everyday road use

C is for Carbon fibre, without it the McLaren F1 could not have been built in the same format.

Both are of course important people in the project, but I think the B belongs to BMW.

I is for Iconel.

Jerez - the first race for the GTR, with #02R winning [I think the pic is of Jerez (?)]

[Peloton25]

That's why it says 'Circuit De Jerez' on the wall up there.
