Only did 4 laps in the McLaren Senna GTR and our Motec beacon was accidentally set at T14; we also pitted in at T5 so it ended up working out for a cool down situation. I’m pretty sure we could’ve reset it easily with the lap button but didn’t want to mess with it considering the hoops we jumped through in order to make this happen. The Senna GTR laps go like so 2:16, 2:14, 2:12, and then a 2:08.4xx. All with passing cars and of course she can go faster! I learned later the car didn’t have the proper setup on it and being the piece of art it is; I felt this was plenty of “pushing” for now lol
So, I downloaded the Motec Data and my GPS Speeds vrs display speeds were much higher. 176.7mph on the back straight, 131.5mph exit of the carousel, 150mph into T11 brake zone, 126mph into T3 (can go much quicker). 94.8mph avg speed during the 2:08.467 lap time.
The McLaren GTR is spectacular, braking was unreal, min speeds were very high and this car displays a “fast in-fast out” drive. A light brake input with a proper brake release allowed the rolling speeds to help the lap time. Being that this car looks so radical, it doesn’t feel like that when you’re driving it near or at the limit. It’s surprisingly composed and you can’t see any of the body work from the cockpit so you kind off forget what you’re driving. It does hit an aero wall around 150mph or so and it’s decel ability is unmatched. There’s always the trade off with drag and downforce, of course.
Park Place McLaren, US RACETRONICS and Esses Racing truly made this happen. Everyone worked together on ensuring this GTR had a proper outing and my student (owner) was incredibly fast out of the gates and thank you everyone.
