An encounter with Chris Harris and a McLaren P1 in Snowdonia

[james64]

Superb!!

[Allyc85]

You lucky man OP!

The first few on the road scenes are near Ffestiniog/Bala on the B4407 and the B4391 if anyone was wondering.

[Tickle]

Fantastic!

Fair play to Chris for doing that and putting it in the video, no doubt a few of your friends would of been a little dubious of your claim.

Your next trip to the EVO and the area won't top that one!

[ILoveMondeo]

Fantastic stuff!

Wow indeed!

[Medic-one]

That's awesome!

Made me smile watching that.

[Speed_Demon]

What a top bloke.

[TVRJAS]

A moment to treasure Op

Chris being a true gent too for giving a petrol head this rare opportunity. (And once again a great review by him)

I watched the p1 vid last night and thought what a lucky guy and here you are posting about your experience.

Another top vid from Harris.

I watched this video last night. The run at Bruntingthorpe against the RS6 was the biggest demonstration of just how fast the P1 is. The '6 is a rapid car in its own right, but the P1 made it look like the handbrake was left on!

I forgot that

My god that guy has gigantic balls.

Remember clarkson loosing a brand new 135i in the wet at 115mph. He held on to 200. I suppose the downforce kept him alive past a certain speed.

Have you seen how a superbike walks away from a P1, at least up to the bikes limiter.

Think a S1000RR would be faster still https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfLqa4vlmFI

Really?

A petrolhead getting a decent run in a P1, on the road, driven by someone who can drive? Experiencing a car that precious few people will get the chance to truly experience. Yes, I'd say that ranks pretty highly.

Your one and only post in this thread is nothing to do with the thread itself, and created purely to sneer at someone.
Why did you feel the need to say that? To be so needlessly derisive of someone's personal opinion of what constitutes the stuff of dreams?

Think it was great that the OP got to experiance that
Credit to CH for taking the time to give that ride

[gregf40]

Wow. As a new RS6 owner I can only imagine how fast that must feel!

To think an Agera R can do almost the same to a P1 is even more mind blowing.

Fair point, that is a very quick machine. But, I would feel a lot more comfortable pinning the throttle of a P1 than leathering up and hopping on anything like that bike. Fast bikes just don't seem to do much for me.

Then you get to these things called corners and the bike disappears

I bet that was great fun, lucky timing paid off!

Top work by Chris, taking the time to indulge a fellow petrolhead like that

[loudlashadjuster]

Great stuff

I wonder if it's occurred to Chris that he's probably now done more miles in a P1 than many owners ever will?

[willisit]

Having just watched that, I think I may have seen him that day (in the South). I did wonder who'd be mad enough driving a P1 around in the wet at the tail end of year!
