I can't even find a cache'd version, they all lead to 'topic has been removed' or 'access denied'. Basically there were questions around the strategy of who did and did not get press cars for reviews and Woking's general management of product launches. Didn't paint them in the best light IMHO.

I was reading that when PH website went all wonky. Did a McLaren PH'er read it, and put an oar in? We must be told.

And I see from the latest EVO that McLaren won't be releasing a 'ring time.

I would guess it was deleted to avoid another Ferrari incident...

Oh yea. Try and keep that quiet. It's virtually out anyway.

Google have that article cached and if you know what you are doing you can ask Google for the cached page. smile
It's nothing special, but I could imagine why it was taken down.

Just read the cached article.

My guess is that someone from Woking got on the phone sharpish wink

Maybe it went away because this paragraph isn't true?

PH.com said:
And so into the soup of Ron's extreme performance claims enters that crucial ingredient, the Daily Mail. Quite who Robert Hardman is, or why McLaren chose him to be one of the first to drive the P1 are questions best left to someone else to answer.
Hardman didn't drive the car - he 'went for a spin' in the passenger seat.

The 'report' by the Mail guy was suitable for a 5yr old. Or Mail readers.
