    Probably just testing tyres or just used what was on hand for one reason or other. They are testing. There can be several reasons why it has standard wheels in the rear and the sport wheels on the front. Testing brake cooling maybe? Who knows.

    Don't know :D

    But I still like that guy, some of his videos (Killing tyres with a F12, F40 vs F50 etc.) were quite entertaining.

    It seems the most experienced the driver, the less they like it. This weekend we get to know what he thinks of the SF90.

    Ah ah! I knew they would not be able anymore to afford paying him to flog their crappy cars now. About time we get a bit of truth from McHarris on Maccas

    Is this the first car they started developing after Goodwin abandoned them for Aston?

    He doesn't care for cars that have too much power. He felt similar in the Pista. If he wants to turn off the nanny and drift which is not what these cars a built for.

    It does.

    I also think they'll be testing one with the Assetto Fiorano package and CF rims around their track. I think that's the one (grey demo car) in the first few secs of this clip on Twitter.



    Edit: unless it's a Pista..? But the lower part of the door matches the design of the SF90.

    Yes, it doesn't match. But I still had a tiny doubt!

    I find it a pity that nowadays supercars require so much assistance and algorithms to make the car go fast and feel good. Performance accessible to everyone is nonsense for me. You have to have the skills and guts to drive some cars (especially old school ones). I personally have no problem to admit I would not have the skills to drive some cars very fast. When I go to Le Mans Classic or French Tour Auto, I admire gentlemen having high enough skills to take some cars at crazy speeds.

    Back to SF90, I find it hard to read clean design lines.
    I only understand the design intention of this car from top view. The rest is too much driven by aerodynamics to my taste. I believe we have reached a point where additional performance is useless, and making all sports cars look more and more the same.

    Yup, It was the SF90 with the AF package! Missed the new TG episode but I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

    Henry certainly does like it and I rate him a way more genuine journo than Harris. Henry is no a "one trick pony" like Harris. I am really liking the 765LT and the Spyder will be the one to get.

    I wouldn't be writing off McLaren any time soon IMO
