[29] The airflow created by the electric fans not only increases downforce, but the airflow that is created is further exploited through design, by being directed through the engine bay to provide additional cooling for the engine and the ECU. Driven by Steve Soper and Jacques Laffite, it set the 13th fastest time.

Alongside AkzoNobel, we’ve worked hard to reduce both the physical weight of the paint (in racing, added weight equals added time, so it’s imperative to save it wherever possible) and the drying time – the better to quickly prep and pack components for last-minute delivery to the track. Andy Wallace and Olivier Grouillard won three races late in the year. The prototype GT, known as XPGT, was F1 chassis #056, and is still kept by McLaren.

The finish is then coated with three litres of gloss lacquer to give it the requisite lustre in front of the cameras. In 1996 Road America by Benton Bryan. Upon activation of the spoiler, a high pressure zone is created in front of the flap, and this high pressure zone is exploited—two air intakes are revealed upon application that will allow the high pressure airflow to enter ducts that route air to aid in cooling the rear brakes. Because the machine features active aerodynamics[20][28] these are the figures presented in the most streamlined configuration. [21] The rear brake calipers do not feature any handbrake functionality, however there is a mechanically actuated, fist-type calipers which is computer controlled and thus serves as a handbrake. Food for thought when it next comes to painting the spare room, huh. This car became Gulf Team Davidoff 1997 FIA GT spare car that was raced during second half of the season.

Since carbon brakes have a more simplified application envelope in pure racing environments, this allows for the racing edition of the car, the F1 GTR, to feature ceramic carbon brakes.[18]. So while it may be the very last element that’s applied after many diligent months of design, development, construction and assembly, it’s anything but an afterthought for our paint and coatings partner AkzoNobel.

Their interiors were made more comfortable over the F1 LM. [54] The car's list of modifications included changes to body panels, suspension, aerodynamics and the interior.

By adding mufflers, passenger seats, adjusting the suspension for more ground clearance for public streets, and removing the air restrictors, the cars were able to be registered for road use.

All of the technicians have undergone dedicated training in service of the McLaren F1. Cd figure is 0.57. It weighs in at 1,288.2 kg (2,840 lb). [21], Gordon Murray attempted to utilise carbon brakes for the F1, but found the technology not mature enough at the time;[26] with one of the major culprits being that of a proportional relationship between brake disc temperature and friction—i.e. If anything, the paint process is an integral part of the build and assembly process of the chassis. Martin Vehle Racing 1997 up to Helsinki. Our paintshop technicians use three litres of primer, two litres of graphite base coat, one litre of Rocket Red, 50 ml of airbrushed metallic black on each car.
