The sound of n/a, no turbo here, Beautiful BMW V12.
Great double tribute, Hakkinen and McLaren F1 GTR.
For all autosport lovers.
Hearing that V12 hit the limiter at those screaming RPM's was AMAZING! SO glad the team at McLaren allowed the car to be demonstrated by an absolutely legendary driver. A true drive in a true race car! Thank you McLaren and Mika!
Love visiting your store in Newport, btw! Saw my first P1 there, and it was glorious. You guys are great
Mika is the one who originally tested the McLaren F1 at the beginning of the '90s.
This is THE F1. This is the Ueno Clinic 01. This is probably the most valuable F1 ever. And that is academic really, because this will never be sold by McLaren. So maybe a nice parade lap by Mika? Naah. Mika doesn't do that because Mika doesn't know how to drive slow. It is so pure and beautiful. Will probably get trounced around the track by a 570S, but who cares. When it hit the limiter, goddamn.
AGREED! Hearing that V12 hit the limiter at those screaming RPM's was AMAZING! SO glad the team at McLaren allowed the car to be demonstrated by an absolutely legendary driver. A true drive in a true race car!
Surely the one that won Le Mans in 95 is the most valuable one ever? Plus doesn’t BMW own this car?
Crazy part is I got to see this car in person today at my job being loaded up on a plane back to the UK. I wouldn't be here unless someone said that this was THAT car lol. V.I.S.I.T. of a lifetime? lol
Get trounced by whaaaaaatttttt??? A 570 S are you serious dude??? the ultimate hypercar of all times will get troushed by a shitty turbo trash can???? pleaaaaaseeee.......... the glorious naturaly aspirated S70/2 bmw engine along with the full carbon chassis the iconic middle seated structure would easily overcome a 720 S
Correct! This is the first time the car has visited the United States, and likely will be the only time for a VERYYYY long time. Hopefully we can convince the folks at McLaren Racing to let this one be seen more.
Good god... I could watch this over and over. The last of a dying breed, both car and driver.
Already watching it several times over. Can't get enough of that car/engine. 😍
The greatest engine sound ever in a GT car and with Hakkinen, the man who beat Schumacher two times in a row. Great video!
This was the highlight of the day for me yesterday. It was so cool of McLaren to let us look inside the car in the garage and this solo time on track was amazing . What a sound, it reminds you that electrics have a long way to go before they can come close to matching this incredible sound of a naturally aspirated engine. A final highlight for me was Mika Hakkinen signing my helmet. Thanks Champ!
jealva I hope you washed it first!
I know it has been 4 years but saying I’m jealous is a huge understatement.
@@CrazyCoconut722 If you get a chance, go to Laguna Seca for the Historic racing. People are so friendly and let you look at their cars. They are there to race and don’t mind letting the fans get up close. It’s such a great event, I highly recommend it. I do a day trip on Southwest airlines through San Jose although I think United has direct flights to Monterey airport as well. I hope you can make it sometime. Full send, my friend.
Great seeing Mika behind the wheel instead of on the sidelines at F1 races.
Highlight of Laguna Seca yesterday, in my opinion. Everyone was able to walk right up to the car and Mika just casually strolled in, sat down and drove away. Awesome.
BMW V12 power! Absolutely amazing car and what a fantastic 1995 win it was at LeMans!
5:53 only Mika would dare to hit the rpm limit in that car 😬
He missed the shift, just saying lol
@@MaximoSirianidelCarril missed a few but i get it, its a different game now with paddle shifters
I think you guys would miss a couple shifts too in that old car.
@@MaximoSirianidelCarril Oh yeah cause you could do a better job.
@@teabagtowers3823 when did i say i would do better
RIP Mr Paul Rosche, you put the M in Motor and that engine was a Masterpiece.
Analogue machine at its best. People from the near future will find these clips and freak out!
1:15 Even the greats miss a shift
Hockenheim 2001 😂
Hockenheim 2001? His car failed, so what?
Yeah and it sounded good even when he missed a shift 😜
3:50
@@seaslicks Oh shit...even worse haha
This is awesome!!!!!!!!! Rolling artwork in every way possible. The missed shift even made me smile.
That car had gearbox problems even before the race. Bent gearbox fork made a hell out of shifting in third and fourth gear.
Long time no see, Mika.
Makes me think back to my old BPR videos watching Steve Soper double clutching a McLaren.
I'm a simple man. i see Mika and/or F1 , I press like
watching this makes me think there will be a day when F1 drivers won't know how to properly drive a car like this without paddles, and its sad, Mikka was one of the last drivers who experienced all while competing, from full manual transmissions to paddles
Max Verstappen didn't even know what heel & toe is, you can google it up
Sad :(
Kr Dz he better tell his dad that!
It is already that day basically. And it not just with F1 drivers, outside of Nascar and its ladder system I can't think of another (not amateur level) category that would still use full manual. Formula Ford still has a stick shifter but not sure if it is a full manual, but not all drivers seriously targeting F1 do Formula Ford.
However, it should not take anything away from their skill. Give them some time and they will quickly learn it.
Makes me think of the video with Mcnish and Grosjean where Allan jumps into the classic Renault without an issue and Romain gets out there and just grinds gears.
Definitely already there.
Ecstasy! I love hearing the rev limiter scream in defiance! Speed isn't everything. Manual boxes may slower, but they are a key part of the racing car atmosphere. Without them racing isn't ass cool as it use to be. Cars are faster, but how many modern race cars are you in love with? That soulless Porsche 919 Tribute might be the fastest race car ever, but if it crashes you would feel nothing. If Mika shunted this baby we would all be sick for weeks!
Litteraly just reading that last sentence made my stomach churn, and completely agreed, there are very few modern cars I could love like older cars, and the few that I could are all proper stick.
The Porsche 919 that set the lap record at the Nürburgring wasn't a race spec car and would not be allowed to compete in any race at all. The car was specifically set up to lap the Nürburgring as fast as it possibly could.
@@hughmungus8311 exactly it's not a race car, just one of the 919 LMP1 Hybrids they ran and went all out for the track records.
Hahaha, if Mika shunted! No chance.
@@rhatala27 that's true man he would never crash this beauty
What masterpiece of a vehicle.
It's nice to see this car being driven as it was Intended. Not paraded around London streets by some poser with too much money.
Dave Halliday gotta have the right owner
It should be illegal for posers to have that amount of money. Money shouldn't be able to buy you everything.
Jealous boomers
@@keaponlaffin6737 lmfao idiot
Chassis 01R??.... Never seen this before!!
Best car ever made!
Yeah,
Agreed
Debatable topic
@@ERTChimpanzee No
@@bootywarrior6958 Your no does not say anything useful.
Mika always my favorite it was really nice to see the two gear change hiccups it's nice to know that he is human
I love that you can hear every small input he does with the throttle. Also this dude is a hero.
My all time favourite car driven by my favourite F1 driver ever. One of the few truly respected by Schumacher himself. This was awesome to see
Mika & McLaren F1 ... Made for each other ... This video is Motorsport heaven for me to watch ... Beautiful car , cool driver... Amazing sound & fun drive ... RESPECT & LOVE 😍🤩😍😘...... LEGENDARY ..
Wow that thing screams
If someone asked you what car would you want, I'd say this F1 Mclaren!.
How does this video not have 48 billion views?
Legend driving a legendary car. Just perfect.
The flying fin still has it that's for sure.
Smooth as ever,another Hakkinen masterclass.
Whenever i feel down i watch a mclaren f1 video to feel better.
Works every single time
This is the best video on the internet
Mika Häkkinen and a Paul Rousch V12! Mana that guy can drive!
Dat upshift though.
Just imagine being along for the ride when Mika bumps on the limiter on the uphill section and knowing he would not be kind to the corkscrew... Heaven.
F1 GTR, the OG iceman and Laguna Seca. That's motorsport perfection right there
My favourite F1 driver and my favourite racing car together. Legends both.
Mika is from maeee country boih😂😂
Stood at the 'Esses Indianapolis' in the rain watching this car go on to win one of the best Le Mans races. I'll never forget the TWR chassis Porsche and Mazda Prototypes trying to catch her, never designed as a racer, a weak in-house transmission and yet this F1 brought it home!
BEST.CAR.EVER.DESIGNED.
Absolutely wonderful stuff. Thank you for posting. Great to see a proper racing driver drive a proper car. Glorious sound. Thanks again
I was there for this, and it was such a surprise that Mika was there and so cool that he was beating the snot out of it on the track. I was in the garage after he pulled back into the pits, and he jokingly asked "What's the lap record?". The FINA F1 was there as well. Zak Brown was also standing there - he had a car he was running there.
That's what supercars are supposed to sound like!! Simply awesome! I bet even Mika loved the experience!
since playing Gran Turismo, i have fallen in love with this car ❤❤
Legend driver Legendary car 😁👍
Perfect drive and shoot side camera anggle 👍
Incredible! Everthing about the F1 GTR is crazy. The fact that it was never designed to be a competition car or the fact that the engine although was motorsport derived, It wasn't truly a full race engine. Despite all that, the glorious BMW Motorsport V12 ran like clockwork at nearly full chat for 24 hours. Porsche and Mercedes developed purport built GT1 cars where are the F1 was truly a road car modified for race use. The F1 GTR story will never be repeated!
Amazing V12 from BMW
I can enjoy this whole day.
This is REAL McLaren... P1 or Senna are nothing... a Gordon Murray masterpiece
OMG. Thank you for this Team RACER. ...That sound,-my ears are crying blood in joy--and it wasn't even flat out. MOAR!
This was more exciting to watch than last couple of seasons in Formula 1
AWESOME I REALLY LOVE OLD MANUAL RACE CARS
Nice, snarling V12 you got in that McLaren there , BMW.
My favorite car since i was 11 years old
Now i am 32 and this car is still my favorite...
The sound of engine is telepathic...
I can listen to that sound all day
That driver, that car, that scream, what an unbelievable amazing Racing-Cocktail, legends!
Thank you for driving this masterpiece the way it was meant to be enjoyed!
Was standing against the fence in the infield and the sound of this thing coming down the hill into the hairpin was spine tingling. No electric car will ever elicit the emotional response of an IC engine of this pedigree. Ps thanks Racer for recording this but set the exposure control next time!
Legendary car and driver, absolutely awesome video!
Its been I while since I seen him...
GAAAHHHHH!!!! That last lap seems like it would've been his best
Love the sweet sound of the f1. Mika shifting speed is phenomenal, sounds almost like an automatic.
Awesome!!! In the first lap we saw that he is taking the hand, then... kick down! Thanks McLaren, thanks Mika and thanks TRC for sharing!
Fav driver, fav car, and beautiful Laguna Seca. Magnifique!
that is a glorious sounding engine. normally aspirated awesomeness. best v12 ever?
This car kinda sound like that orange 2012 aventador on the dyno. Sounds beautiful !!!!
Hakkinen having a few problems with that gearbox!!
The BEST car of twentieth century . Absolutely fantastic .
This is why I try and attend the Motorsport Reunion and Porsche Rennsport Reunions every time. All the great marques and cars that come out to play are just fantastic. Hearing IMSA rotary powered racers, to the Audi 90 Quattro GTO with it's ear splitting dump valve...always a great weekend. Well worth the entry price.
Holy guacamole I could listen all day to this BMW V12 glory.
That was big surprise !!!!
This downshifts are amazing!
Was there and i can confirm was awesome
The greatest vehicle ever made. Period.
Just when I thought a perfect video didn’t exists
Double legends 🤩🤩
We love Mika
getting over how good the f1 must be to drive and how cool it is to see it in action, its a pitty that the sound isnt as good as the video
3:52 mistake?
MIKA!
This is the best car in the world, nothing but pure awesomeness
Absolutely magnificent!
what a sound??? AMAZING!
This is pure gold. thx for sharing
I couldn’t click on this video fast enough. So good!
Thanks god that I can see this video 😍😍😍😍😍 What a music 🎶
I can feel the corkscrew in my stomach every time I see it from onboard. That's crazy elevation change.
12 people who have watched need to go for hearing tests.
Damn, nearly money shifted it. That would’ve been expensive lol
5:53 hell ya!! 🤩🙏
Ah that is beautiful
He f#ckin got it on that backstraight 🤘
2nd to 3rd on that box looks like a bit of a problem. He skips going into 3rd @ 3.50 and goes into 4th.
Looks like he puts it in 1st instead of 3rd.
Mika still has it
...the sound of this car 👌👏
Holy sound....🧡🧡🧡
Good Times! Legends at their best designed to race 🏎!
Laguna seca great track. Great engine sound!
Omg two legend's sweet
