McLaren Bringing Trio of F1s to 2013 Goodwood Festival
McLaren has announced that it’ll be bringing a trio of F1s to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed event, joining past and present Can-Ams that the British automaker revealed previously.
As part of the brand’s 50th anniversary celebrations, one of those F1s in attendance will be the chassis F1/01R which returns to the Festival of Speed having ran it in 1995 following its victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Joining it will be a one-off prototype of the McLaren F1 LM, famously built to honor the victory and five finishing cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The last of the three F1s will be the Gulf-liveried McLaren F1 GTR Longtail, which claimed second place at Le Mans in 1997.
