Review automotive Time and time once more, we are reminded the Corkscrew turn on Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is no joke. Numerous an accident and wipeout happens on this celebrated around the world turn, as a close effect in a McLaren P1 GTR as of late demonstrated.
At one of the numerous private McLaren track days facilitated on this track, an onlooker got video of an extremely uncommon and exceptionally costly McLaren P1 GTR just about reaching the defensive gatekeeper rails on the way out of the turn.
The P1, apparently possessed and worked by McLaren itself, was out setting a hot lap for other GTR proprietors to coordinate. At the point when the auto transformed into the Corkscrew excessively quick, the backside ventured out and created a twist down the length of the Corkscrew exit, right toward one of the dividers circumscribing the track.
Fortunately, the driver kept up the slide, braked, and controlled the P1 before it smacked its nose on the divider. The auto was gradually swung back to the right heading, and set off before it brought on an activity reinforcement in a hazardous territory of the circuit.
The P1 GTR is a piece of a first class gathering of track-just hypercars, including the Ferrari FXX, 599XX, FXX K, Pagani Zonda R, Aston Martin Vulcan, and the Maserati MC12 Corsa. Contrasted with the standard McLaren P1, the GTR includes a bucketful of motorsport equipment, including a full race-prepared inside, suspension, fumes, tires, and streamlined unit. Under the tight carbon fiber skin beats a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 motor. This works in coupled with an electric engine, for an aggregate force yield of 986 hp.
In the event that the driver had not figured out how to maintain a strategic distance from contact with the divider, the repair bill would have been entirely steep, with the first price tag of the GTR pegged at around $3,360,000.
