From
the beginning, the competition version is looking like a formidable racing
car. Mc Laren enters seven F1 GTR at the ’95 edition of Le Mans.
Furthermore, five from the seven Mc Laren safely reach the finish line,
and four are in the top five! The success of the Mc Laren n°59 is
noteworthy given that the car has only received minor modifications for
the race. The body is made of carbon fibre, the BMW engine, a V12 with
6000 cm3 and 640 CV. The Mc Laren n°59, sponsored by Ueno
Clinic, is driving by Dalmas; Lehto, and Sekiya. First participation and
scratch victory, first place in GT, first win for a BMW engine, first
victory for a Japanese and Finn driver…Mc Laren goes down in legend
of the 24 Hours of Le Mans among cars which win this famous race at the
first participation. |
