The
McLaren P1 LM and driver Kenny Brack have snapped the road-legal car record at the
Goodwood hill climb like a twig. And, of course, it’s all on video.
Brack ran the hill in a scant 47.07 seconds in the ultimate street-legal version of the P1, a GTR converted for road use. Goodwood has run road cars up the hill since 2000, but timed runs only started in 2014. That year Jann Mardenborough managed
49.27 seconds in a Time Attack-spec
Nissan GT-R Nismo. The P1 is even a hair faster than
a pre-production BAC Mono that ran last year and recorded an unofficial 47.9-second run.
But Brack’s record-breaking run didn’t come easy. Just watch the video. The
McLaren oversteers in the first bend, and then looks more like a bucking bronco than a hypercar as it runs up the track. Brack stretches out an ever-increasing lead through each section of the track before crossing the line seconds ahead of any other road-legal vehicle’s time.
