McLaren F1 GTR “Big Mac” captured at Goodwood

Antony Fraser photographs McLaren F1 GTR #24R at Goodwood:

Originally finished in Fina livery, it raced as a GTC car in Japan until it was crashed heavily and sidelined. Once repaired, it was sold to Steve O’Rourke who had the car finished in the EMI livery you see here. He also famously managed Pink Floyd and became known as a very good gentleman racer. How good? Well, in 1997 along with Tim Sugden he claimed the British GT2 driver’s championship and then claimed the GT1 title in 1998. However, both his and his McLaren’s finest hours were yet to come.
