Can someone please explain what is going on in these pics. The P1 being advertised with Alistair Bols appears to have the wing at full height (i.e. race mode) but the suspension at standard road height. I did not think this was possible or am I wrong? I initially thought the photos were being taken whilst the car was changing modes but I can’t see anyone in the car, what aren’t I seeing

This is likely 'Race Mode 2'. It allows the wing to extend and lowers the car marginally, instead of the full lowering. It is a software update I gather.

Ahh!! If right then that explains it. I always wondered why McLaren never offered such a mode on day one as you would have expected owners to want to pose with the wing up on the road without having to drive the car illegally on the road in race mode
