Great article. I'm going to drive mine much faster now!

Another journalist, an eager twenty-something kid from England whom I’d never met, was my passenger.

Route 33 is not meant to be driven at ten tenths. It’s a technical route with tight hairpins that can appear out of nowhere. When I swapped places with the kid, he ripped off, seemingly capable. The 570 was lively and twitchy as he pressed harder, but his inputs seemed smooth and the car was responding favorably.

Less than five minutes later, he ran out of talent and we ran out of road.

Anyone know who that was?

That’s a great ad for the safety of McLarens. Bet the driver was a little embarrassed

It was a good article, thanks for posting.
They are so lucky that they didn’t hit a tree as the deceleration would have killed them instantly no matter what they were driving. Sliding off a track into a gravel run off put the willys up me at 80mph, wouldn’t want to try going off a cliff edge on public road at similar speed. Somebody must know who the driver was?

Yes , while you may suffer a little more depreciation .... carbon fibre isa miracle in safety ... hence why so few F1 drivers have lost their lives since the CF era ...........bt we all know all that matters is money not life , so there you go
