I had the opportunity to read this as a friend lent it to me (it’s a rather rare book). It’s a fantastic read with so much rich history. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a love for cars or is like me and grew up idolizing the F1.

This history of the McLaren F1 explains how the McLaren Cars' team pursued their quest for perfection to create the fastest road car in the world - setting the record at 240.1mph in 1998. The book has been created with the full support and involvement of McLaren Cars.
