“That was a car you felt proud to drive and was very cool. When you were barreling down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans at night at 200mph and hit the brakes, you’d see the reflection off the guardrails from the brake rotors lighting up. You’d downshift through the gears and hear that motor sing. It was a beautiful car to drive.”
— BMW factory driver Bill Auberlen, describing the McLaren F1 GTR he raced at Le Mans in 1998
