On this episode, Matt and Richard wind the clock back to 1995 when McLaren shocked the sportscar establishment by winning the Le Mans 24 hours at its first attempt.
The guys reflect on McLaren's sportcar heritage, the origins and incredible pedigree of the organisation's somewhat confusingly named 'McLaren F1' road car, and why the Le Mans project came at a good time for the beleaguered Formula 1 operation.
They also dig into the details of the 24-hour race itself, explaining how a fleet of cars were prepared for the gruelling event and what success represented for McLaren in both the long- and short-term. Oh, and they also discuss which F1 driver paid more than $15m for a McLaren F1 of his own...
