Doug DeMuro McLaren F1 geekfest

Jay Leno's F1 at that.

Cheers for posting! Essential viewing even with that fella's accent

Edited to say that engine noise will always be shocking

It gets a weekend score of 47/50.

Now if you didn’t want one before.....

Haven’t got the time to watch it today - does he take a turn at 30 mph and then immediately gawp at the amazing grip and handling like with all his other supercar reviews?

[speedingfine]

The original and best review and why Tiff Needell is basically god

His Integra DC2 ‘review’, all straight line, no corner, not a word mentioned about the car’s LSD. Waste of time.

I’m conflicted. I LOVE the F1 and all the geekery around it but I can’t stand his videos. Will watch and suffer him.

[NotoriousREV]

I’ve never managed to watch one of his videos all the way through.

[JLv3.0]

I’ve never managed to watch one of his videos all the way through.

This is the correct way. Enjoy the geeky details, but skip the useless 'test drive' and excruciating Doug Score shit.

At least this one had Leno do the driving bit and he is as affable and pleasant as normal.

And yes - it will ALWAYS sound shocking, won't it!! What a car - still the ultimate in my opinion.

[NotoriousREV]

They still leave me cold.

[JLv3.0]

Fuck them off then mate

[NotoriousREV]

Fuck them off then mate

I meant F1s.

[JLv3.0]

Oh! Well - each to their own I guess. I think they're perfection itself.

[integrale_evo]

The tyres look a bit weird, I can't remember noticing such a huge difference in sidewall profile before, the fronts look too small yet the rears look like balloons.

[Simon]

JLIC.

Rev is a NCG.

FACT!

[240PP]

Its not just planes, turns out Rev knows fuck all about cars too

[mik]

Yeah - always been like that (and always looked a bit clunky). Would have been better with 18’s on the rear.

[Mito Man]

Just looking at that Tiff clip last night - the F1 sure does lean about as much as a modern day Transit van
I reckon it would be disappointing to drive in a spirited manner in 2019 - no doubt suspension and brake upgrades would fix it right up but just replacing a bolt with a non OEM one would cause £500k of depreciation wouldn’t it

[JLv3.0]

You know fuck all, but this is no surprise. The suspension doesn't need an upgrade; it's not a racing car. It was always designed to handle like that.

[integrale_evo]

It was always designed as a road car though, and left soft on purpose.

Even the more modern ones are softer than similar cars in their class aren't they? Didn't topgear say one of their cars they tested was one of the few supercars cars they could take a massive cut through the followthrough because it didn't unsettle it or feel like it was going to destroy it?
