Has anyone told Mclaren that their new car looks similar to the new Ginetta?
All the recent Ginettas are front engined and don't look anything like this. Are you sure you mean Ginetta?markbmw said:
Didn't he say 1360kg earlier, now it's 'around 1300'. Trying hard not to be too pedantic but given the big focus on lightness...?
That is quite heavy (relatively compared to their talk of lightness), the new Ginetta (or old Farbio) GTS only weighs 1068kgHow much did the F1 weigh?

It’s a shame there wasn’t a Q&A.

Shame for us. Journalists don't much like Q&As because if they have an incisive question, everybody else hears the answer, hence no exclusive. Q&As are usually only enjoyed by those journalists who want to showboat.--- Simon
