Watch The £3m McLaren P1 LM Get Taken For A Ballsy, Record-Breaking Run Up The Goodwood Hill
Former racing driver Kenny Brack didn't let the near-1000bhp output nor multi-million pound worth of the P1 LM put him off, as he clocked the fastest ever road car time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb last weekend
Having witnessed Brack’s practice run at Goodwood last weekend, we can confirm that he was on it. Clearly he wasn’t perturbed by the fact the P1 LM - seen here in ‘XP1’ prototype form - sends nearly 1000bhp to the rear boots, nor the value of the car, which is thought to be in the region of £3 million.
The LM has been created by Lanzante Motorsport, the firm which campaigned McLaren’s F1 GTR back in the 1990s. The company will produce five of the cars, which will start off life as P1 GTRs before being made road legal and given engine and aero upgrades.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

What is the record breaking time? I’m sure it’s mentioned in the Youtube clip, but I can’t watch that right now.
47:07
47.07 seconds
It was the record for a road legal car, just to be clear.
P1 lm. For people who just had too much money and wanted a faster P1. The “stock” P1 makes only 930ish hp but this, bam, 1000.
It’s a sniff under 1000
Stock p1 makes 903 not 930
That cost $62,893 per second…
And 100% smiling per second…
I got $63,734.8
Did anyone elses heart skip a beat when the car skipped a little as it flew past the flint wall?
Insert obligatory comment about size of driver’s balls
In Richard Hammond’s voice “mah-oo-sive”
I’ve got this hold my beer.
I got nexthick BRING ON THE FXX K
The onboard video of him driving the ford GT40 at a wet GFoS was pretty epic too.
That wasn’t the FOS, it was at the Revival.
But you’re totally right, what a drive.
saw this on YouTube…The P1 was moving good to see these cars being pushed in front the public
I expect no less from Mr. Brack.
Watch his humungous balls Force-guide a Ford GT40 on slicks in the rain, and you’ll see what I mean.
