I loved reading the article. Now, I wonder if the P1 did indeed beat the 918's time at the Ring, and I have a feeling that McLaren don't want to talk about it.
Of course it did. Steve Sutcliffe said the P1 is much faster, everywhere, than the 918.
. If you had just smashed the ring record it is completely counter intuative not to say it when it will obviously have a very positive effect on all your commercial operations and fan base.... makes no sense.

Great stuff Mclaren, you make us very proud!
And with regards to the ring time baloney, perhaps there is a hint of the Marquis of Queensbury, the quintessential English gent and playing fair.
I'd say more to do with not giving Ferrari a target lap time to 'beat' by whatever means necessary. Great stuff Mclaren, you make us very proud!

They have form and McLaren know it, there will be a video of the full lap somewhere, i'm sure it is spellbinding, but they aren't going to release it until Ferrari shows their hand.
I do worry that the stand off will never get broken though, why would they? both cars are sold out and the PR keeps on coming, we are still talking about it, aren't we!!!

Sold out?
Damn, well I guess I'll spend my money one something else
I realyl like the merging of unadulterated turbo'd V8 with the green-pary friendly electric power, it's an excellent interpretation of the "hybrid" car that, for so long, has been a byword for "boring and slow and treehuggy"
Iw as wondering, how long could you travel at, say, 40 or 50 mph under electric power alone? is there a mode to just use the leccy motors? Say if you wanted to sneak out of the neibourhood at 4am on a summers sunday morning without waking up everyone
