I know right? This is probably the best quality footage of a p1 gtr ive seen. This will be very rare one day and very valuable to preserve the p1 after they are all garaged.
Driver in front saw you @4:32 coming from Paul Frere Courbe, yet he/she managed to mess it completely 10 seconds later with an epic block at exact apex of fastest corner... totally unbelieveable. Thank you for sharing!
hey man i am a huge fan of your vlog and your videos that are literally are one of a kind because were in youtube you can find a guy racing ultra rare cars to their limits and sharing them with the world. please keep going with your vlog man!!! and boy one day you would have more subscribers than the ones you might ever think about
Just amazing skill thanks for sharing did see you this weekend at Silverstone still shame about that spin and Saturday great defending them lambos got lucky till the next one enjoy
hi Alex, thanks for these videos. as im guessing your one of a very rare bunch to drive both, how would you say the GTR and the fxxk stack up? I know they are different in ways but would you reckon they could post similar-ish laptimes? thanks again for the great content
they are both very different, but pretty similar laptimes. at Monza they are both probably faster than a gt3 car. they are both fantastic track cars, but not race cars
Looks fab Alex. Was hoping to race at spa next weekend, but can't make it. Instructing at the Ferrari Trackday at Oulton on Tuesday 19th of July. If you are in the uk bring a toy along.
Hello Mister West, I have found a picture of your car on movement at Spa during this event, it's a pretty good quality picture so if you want the link just ask ;)
@@rodrigo-tj1gf Hypercar variant better? I didn't know Hyper ONLY meant street legal? I did just looked up the P1 GTR though. I guess there are some that are street legal. I wonder what makes it not street legal, that can undone. It's probably something like bumpers or something like that.
@@rodrigo-tj1gf Lmao just because it’s not road legal, doesn’t mean it’s not a hypercar. It is a track car, specifically a track only hypercar. It’s not a race car, as it doesn’t compete or qualify for any races.
The way this car slows down under braking is mental! You wouldn't believe you can slow down from 300+ so late in time for that corner, but in the blink of an eye the car sheds 200 kmph with time to spare.
Great vid Alex! Sorry didn't see this earlier. Can I ask what tyres you were running? I wonder if the Senna with more downforce could be faster around Spa. Maybe under 2:20??
Thanks Alex. I wonder how the standard Senna will fare. I've got 2 buddies who are getting one and we're trying to figure out what times they can expect at Spa on standard road tyres. I figure a 2:25 probably.
a GT3 car (depending on BOP) on slicks will do 2:15, P1 GTR (with almost 2x the BHP) maybe 2.18, Koenigsegg bragged about their 2:32 lap, which i think the MSO HS/675LT beat. i think 2:25 will be doable without too much risk taking. Spa is a track that favours downforce, if you compare the GT3 vs P1 GTR times. so on the plus side for the Senna you have 825bhp, decent downforce, not too heavy, and on the downside road tyres...
Yes agree with that Alex. The guys getting the Senna currently have 675LT's(athough not MSO HS) They are currently at about 2:36 on a good lap with road tyres. So that is why I figured with more HP and downforce should be good for at least 10 seconds. I needed to know so I know how much faster they will be than my ACR Extreme when we play at the track again!! I'll be getting 840hp 9.0 L upgrade very soon and will be running slicks eventually on track so hope to be around maybe 2:28 then at Spa. So Senna's will at least be in sight and not disappear completely from me!
a GT3 car completly depends on the BOP for the series. My Pro in GTOpen did a 2:16, in Blancpain they are at 2.18 and with GTR 2.19. at Monza i would guess the GTR is quicker, but otherwise on most tracks a GT3 car will be quicker. it is a very different driving experience though
Love your videos man. This is the first one I've seen. How do you get to drive these epic cars? What do you think is the top speed of the McLaren P1 GTR?
top speed, you would need a very long straight, and possibly different tyres. fastest I have done on a track (Barcelona) was 310kmh but car is still accelerating at a decent clip
+Alexander West Ah okay. But it really does punch through those gears. Remove the electronic limiter and this car could probably hit 400km/h. Wow, you own all of them. That is awesome. Keep up the great videos man.
there is no limiter, even if you have a straight long enough, it would be a risk reward pushing the tyres much above 330km/h i think. they are racing tyres so not designed for that type of speed
it is faster than a hypercar, BUT not quicker than a Hypercar around a track. It is slower than a GT3 car with half the horsepower around a track. The difference is called downforce or the lack of it...(and weight but mostly downforce)
zero assist is faster actual (if you nail braking point). Traction control cut the acceleration when there is no need sometimes, but if you use it in race, it insure you can't slide at all (at indy last curv for example)
To Alexander. Not..?, it is 2-3 also at Monza and i'm sure that the Mc is the fastest car on track actually how i had yet say. Is less powerfull but the power is useless if you can't use it till the last drop ..
one:1 have not only street tyres, orginal p1 with no slick tyres hitts 2.38. far far away from the egg, now set slick tyres on the one:1 and let see how it gos
Dani BOSSFTW yes, but the P1GTR is on slicks. But I think a 675LT can match or beat the koenigseggs time at spa. The Eggs are fast and cool cars, but track focused they ain't
I'm sure by cronograph in hand, i would wrong helf second maximum but that's it if you like it or not. I'm italian and as look, sound, everything in few words i prefere the FXX-K, but not for that i have to not say the truth. If you want try you to take them lap time, is very simply...
Hello Mister West, I have found a picture of your car on movement at Spa during this event, it's a pretty quality picture so if you want the link just ask ;)
All I hear is those giant turbos whizzing in the background. Friggin awesome.
Agreed. Darth Vader breathing down your neck ;) road P1 is pretty good for that as well. Senna not so much unfortunately
How on earth do you not have a trillion subs!? that's some badass onboard footage! Congrats on life hahaha
thanks, you seem to be doing ok as well... I enjoy your videos as well. Maybe i need a Pedro to do the editing... ;)
Alexander West do you own the cars in your videos or no?
Ayeeeeeee
Alexander West on the first AU rouge..... did the wheel bottom out the suspension or was that the belly of the car? I heard a rub or scrape sound?
I know right? This is probably the best quality footage of a p1 gtr ive seen. This will be very rare one day and very valuable to preserve the p1 after they are all garaged.
the cornering speeds of that car are amazing.
No kidding! Did you see the way it climbed up Eau Rouge?
But the braking from 300 kmph is simply mental -- how can a car shed speed like that?
@@srinitaaigaura akebono brakea
Those turbo and blow off sounds are crazy. And so is the driver. Stomped the crap out of Spa
Driver in front saw you @4:32 coming from Paul Frere Courbe, yet he/she managed to mess it completely 10 seconds later with an epic block at exact apex of fastest corner... totally unbelieveable. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful! So light on the breaking it seems. Awesome car and track. Thanks for sharing

thanks, I don't really care about viewers tbh
but pls don't stop making videos man, these are gold.
i love the sounds coming from this
Beautiful driving as always. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Fantastic video, thanks! Wow, what great driving and what a great car... subscribed!
Keep these videos coming, love them!
This car must be very confidence-inspiring. Also those turbos are pretty legendary
waste gates, but yes ;)
The way this car boosts is insane
You are an incredible pilot.
Sensational! That track day needed some marshalls with a good set of blue flags!
McLaren P1 GTR Sound is very very amazing, ngl.
Just amazing skill thanks for sharing did see you this weekend at Silverstone still shame about that spin and Saturday great defending them lambos got lucky till the next one enjoy
yeah, not the best of weekends. need more testing
Not in my wildest dreams would I be able to see one of these on a race track in my country ...:(
Great driving skills!
Uau! Que linda sinfonia desse motor!
Beethoven!!!
perfect car settings !!!
Skilled driver !
fantastic!
P1 GTR is hella underrated..
100-200 is absolutely mind blowing
2:11 Damn, that looked right up on the limit. Long live the aero.
first lap time about 2:20? Impressive. Did you scrape in eau rouge?
yes and ar la source
If you only have one thing on the bucket list 👌
when i do this is forza i fucking sweat, this is amazing Mr.West, keep up the amazing content!
hi Alex, thanks for these videos. as im guessing your one of a very rare bunch to drive both, how would you say the GTR and the fxxk stack up? I know they are different in ways but would you reckon they could post similar-ish laptimes? thanks again for the great content
they are both very different, but pretty similar laptimes. at Monza they are both probably faster than a gt3 car.
they are both fantastic track cars, but not race cars
that was a bit cheeky of that other driver on the last lap.
sweet laps!! Is your gtr a road legal conversion and do you know if they get any slower after said conversion?
no not road legal.and if you go on road tyres clearly slower. should also have less downforce in general and be heavier
Looks fab Alex. Was hoping to race at spa next weekend, but can't make it. Instructing at the Ferrari Trackday at Oulton on Tuesday 19th of July. If you are in the uk bring a toy along.
racing at Silverstone next weekend so pretty tight schedule.
So bad for your second lap ... Nice driving !
holy shit so commited through eau rouge and blanchimont... impressive driving. Conrgrats!! Car is fantastic, also. Much faster than WEC GTE racecars.
Hello Mister West, I have found a picture of your car on movement at Spa during this event, it's a pretty good quality picture so if you want the link just ask ;)
With that traffic, and with a stop watch i got roughly 2:20! Let's see how the rest of the hyper cars stack up!
This is not a hypercar
This isn't a hypercar, this car is not even legal to drive on road
@@rodrigo-tj1gf Hypercar variant better? I didn't know Hyper ONLY meant street legal? I did just looked up the P1 GTR though. I guess there are some that are street legal. I wonder what makes it not street legal, that can undone. It's probably something like bumpers or something like that.

So sick
That turbo tho
why do you have protective film on the windscreen?
Peter Pfeiffer easier to peel off a layer than replacing windscreen...
The way this car slows down under braking is mental! You wouldn't believe you can slow down from 300+ so late in time for that corner, but in the blink of an eye the car sheds 200 kmph with time to spare.
srinitaaigaura still nothing compared to a GT3 car where we brake at 100m mark
fuck how it slows down look how it accelerates
you had to protect the GTR...big up's or maybe shaved and took it on the inside of the bend ?
Great vid Alex! Sorry didn't see this earlier. Can I ask what tyres you were running? I wonder if the Senna with more downforce could be faster around Spa. Maybe under 2:20??
klekoni pirellis slicks, the senna GTR will be quicker yes. More downforce

you have driven both this and the FXXK , which one is faster ?
P1
Badass!
First Lap was a 2:20.550
Why still habe air conditioning for passanger side, this is only seat for driver right?
Cools the whole cockpit, but it does have a passenger seat if you want as well
How does it compare to GT3 car around Spa lap time wise? Faster than 650S GT3?
I saw on the mclaren forum that the GT3 car is quicker on track than the p1 gtr
a GT3 car completly depends on the BOP for the series. My Pro in GTOpen did a 2:16, in Blancpain they are at 2.18 and with GTR 2.19. at Monza i would guess the GTR is quicker, but otherwise on most tracks a GT3 car will be quicker. it is a very different driving experience though
great driving. When was this?
today
damn it, too bad I missed this.
Will you drive the P1 gtr tomorrow?
+belgian-motorsport yes
ok, I'll be there. :)
What else is there to see besides the P1 GTR's if I may ask?
2 minutes and 20 seconds, jeez this is a record
Sucks that the guy on the second lap didn't see you coming or just didn't have the courtesy to get out of your way.
If you could, would you fit an LM kit on your car?
that would make it road legal...
+Alexander West I'm sure you can say only put the go fast bits on it :)
I want one
do you ever drive it on public roads?
not exactly road legal so no
Love your videos man. This is the first one I've seen. How do you get to drive these epic cars? What do you think is the top speed of the McLaren P1 GTR?
top speed, you would need a very long straight, and possibly different tyres.

is this kanyes brother?
This car faster than I thought like it looks like le mans hypercar level speed when in reality it's nothing close.
it is faster than a hypercar, BUT not quicker than a Hypercar around a track. It is slower than a GT3 car with half the horsepower around a track.
The difference is called downforce or the lack of it...(and weight but mostly downforce)
@@AlexanderWest Yeah that's what I meant. Faster around a track.
Spa ...day !!
I did a 1:46.5 here... in real racing 3 that is... ;p
Bilal Hashmi I did it in 1:44.425...
Mujtaba Ibrahim do you watch Blackpanthaa?
Mujtaba Ibrahim I did it with cockpit view and zero assist, my man..
Bilal Hashmi I did it with zero assists too, and yes I watch blackpanthaa
zero assist is faster actual (if you nail braking point). Traction control cut the acceleration when there is no need sometimes, but if you use it in race, it insure you can't slide at all (at indy last curv for example)
To Alexander. Not..?, it is 2-3 also at Monza and i'm sure that the Mc is the fastest car on track actually how i had yet say. Is less powerfull but the power is useless if you can't use it till the last drop ..
on the tracks that i have driven both, the difference is less, but the P1 weighs less and has more downforce (at least vs the non-evo version)
4:41 he had his right blinker on and was moving over...wasn't he?
Possibly but at that speed I'd rather not have a misunderstanding
@@AlexanderWest I concur.
That is pretty good. I counted 2:20:15 min
";-)
10 seconds faster than a Koenigsegg One : 1 then... that's the difference between an insane road car and a track focused monster.
thats a decent gt3 time. Since this is the first lap this thing is probably capable of more damn. GTE levels of speed!
one:1 have not only street tyres, orginal p1 with no slick tyres hitts 2.38. far far away from the egg, now set slick tyres on the one:1 and let see how it gos
Do you own the p1 gtr?
pretty much only drive my own cars
He went too slow to do a 'little Max'.
No DRS ?
Yep, you just can't see my left thumb...
Oh ok thanks for the quick answer. I appreciate you sharing these experiences.
video game speeds :)
se va a la mierda ese turbo!!!
This was alot faster than the time of the koenigsegg if im not mistaken
Dani BOSSFTW yes, but the P1GTR is on slicks. But I think a 675LT can match or beat the koenigseggs time at spa. The Eggs are fast and cool cars, but track focused they ain't
what about the p1 gtr on normal tyres? wouldnt it be quicker than the regular p1 and the 675 and 720?
why would you, defeats the whole purpose of the car
for a fair comparison with other cars since they run regular tyres
2:22 seconds lol
I counted 2:20:15 min
";-)
FXX-K is slower around six seconds on this track, bad result for the my prefered car looking ...
the FXXK is not 6 secs a lap slower. not sure where you would have gotten that from?
I'm sure by cronograph in hand, i would wrong helf second maximum but that's it if you like it or not. I'm italian and as look, sound, everything in few words i prefere the FXX-K, but not for that i have to not say the truth. If you want try you to take them lap time, is very simply...
You cut Raidillon. Otherwise the lap was nice.
marginal, and in any case better than the alternative, turn some more and lose the rear.... plenty of youtube videos showing the result of that....
That car is a proper Monster ! So fast !!!
Hello Mister West, I have found a picture of your car on movement at Spa during this event, it's a pretty quality picture so if you want the link just ask ;)
hi I have seen a few pictures on Instagram
not sure which one you are referring to
