It's not the full unexpurgated on-board camera lap the world (well some of it) has been waiting for, but McLaren has released this official video record of the 12C at the Nurburgring.
You get talky bits from McLaren test driver Chris Goodwin, and some driving (and talking) from the editor in chief of German magazine Sport Auto who claims to have cracked off a 7min 28sec lap.
Is this the preamble to the main release? Hopefully - we reckon it's time the 12C put its money where its mouth is...
