Episode shownotes
Today we are talking about an absolute icon of the 90s - the legendary McLaren F1. A car that seemed to be from another planet at the time and is still considered one of the most spectacular road cars of all time.
The guest for this episode is Dr. Thomas Bscher, former racing driver, banker and a key figure in the F1's transition from the road to the racetrack. Together, we delve deep into the history of the McLaren F1: Why was the McLaren F1 so special? How difficult was it to drive - even for professionals? Why was the car actually a commercial miscalculation? And what do two dogs have to do with a super sports car?
In addition, there are insights into a unique police check, an incredible love story from Le Mans and the question of why even Walter Röhrl had his problems in the McLaren F1.
Tip: You can find the video of the ride-along with Walter Röhrl on my YouTube channel!
