Twenty-five years on from its famous début victory in the 1995 Le Mans  24 Hours, the wonderful McLaren F1 GTR is the subject of this major two-volume history. Derived from the BMW V12-powered three-seat McLaren F1 road car, the F1 GTR only came into existence because of customer pressure on designer Gordon Murray to produce a racing version. With 28 examples built over three seasons, the F1 GTR was fabulously successful, winning 41 of its 131 races and taking two international championship titles. This sumptuous book outlines the life of the McLaren F1 GTR in exhaustive depth, with Volume 1 devoted to race-by-race narrative and Volume 2 to individual car histories and the stories of the people who raced them, all supported by over 775 colour photographs.

Key content

  • Design and development of the F1 GTR, including thoughts from Gordon Murray, the car’s designer and also writer of this book’s foreword.
  • Racing in 1995: besides the celebrated McLaren victory at Le Mans, F1 GTRs dominated the BPR Global GT Endurance Series, winning 10 of its 12 rounds, with John Nielsen and Thomas Bscher narrowly emerging as champions in Bscher’s West-sponsored car.
  • Racing in 1996: a second all-conquering BPR season delivered the championship title to Ray Bellm in his Gulf-sponsored car, partnered by James Weaver, while a campaign in Japan’s national championship saw John Nielsen and David Brabham crowned champions.
  • Racing in 1997: the F1 GTR evolved into Long Tail form and a BMW-funded team arrived to join the action, taking all five McLaren victories in the new FIA GT Championship, although the Schnitzer-run team’s quickest drivers, JJ Lehto and Steve Soper, narrowly missed out on the title.
  • Racing in 1998: Steve O’Rourke’s privateer F1 GTR Long Tail achieved a remarkable fourth overall and the GT class win at Le Mans, but by now the FIA GT Championship had become a Mercedes benefit and the two participating McLarens were outclassed.
  • Twilight years in Japan: two F1 GTRs soldiered on in Japan from 1999 to 2005, achieving one more victory, at Miné in 2001.
  • Car histories: all 28 F1 GTRs receive detailed resumés of their lifetimes, complete with period and modern photographs showing them in their myriad guises, often with various changes of colour and livery over the years, plus conversions to road use.
  • The people: key McLaren and team personnel provide first-hand recollections, followed by views of the men who raced F1 GTRs successfully, from Le Mans achievers Yannick Dalmas and Derek Bell to multiple winners Ray Bellm, Thomas Bscher, John Nielsen, Andy Wallace, James Weaver, JJ Lehto and Steve Soper.

    Would be better with longer cable and without the LED light.
    I like that the install is very easy, non-permanent, and can be very quickly removed if needed. It fast charges and the magnets are strong (the reviews that say it doesn’t hold probably aren’t using a MagSafe case). That said I have two annoying issues: 1) There is a light that comes on when the car is turned on. If you don’t put your phone on the charger it will say on for a minute or two and then eventually turn off. 2) The included USB-C cable is too short. It only just barely reaches the outlet in the front bottom center console. It would be better if they had included a 6ft with a 90-deg connector to draw power from the back seat ports. 3) It doesn’t not include a charger. In all, the mount and charger are fine, but be prepared to spend an extra $20 on a longer cable and charger to make it all work.

    Phone holder, not charger.
    Nice plastic phone holder, works a lot better if you don’t have a phone case, it fits almost flushed. It doesn’t use “stickiness” to hold its self, just pressure from bottom phone, it holds nicely but has a little gap on the sides, it too much pressure is applied then Tesla screen starts showing pressure. The wire is small but reaches the under panel how ever, it does not fit flushed, will need to do some tinkering. I slide the wire under the charger where the phones go. Now the door can’t close but it can pass through. That charger is not fast but it works. Edit: nah, don’t get it. The charger doesn’t charge, it will charge them stop. It works like a phone holder…
