Podcasts about McLaren F1

2025 has come to a close - and it's another year-end episode reflecting on the best and worst cars Jason and Derek have encountered this year. Maximum Carmudgeonation is achieved today, so hold onto your hats - and we guarantee, you've never listened to another podcast where the Vinfast VF8 and McLaren F1 are both mentioned. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Before getting into the thick of it, Jason updates us on his MK3 Volkswagen Cabrio VR6 swap - with the 2.slow and the rest of the front + rear subframes out, we learn one other MK3 (Jetta GLX) has been sacrificed in the name of top-down VR6 burnouts. A myth is busted - Harbor Freight plastic carts don't appear to be makeshift engine stands after all. But they do explode catastrophically! Derek also goes over some highlights of another year dealing cars at OTS - with sales and consignments including the likes of the Ferrari F50, Porsche Carrera GT, and an array of modern Ferrari Challenge cars (360 Challenge Stradale, F430 Scuderia, and 458 Speciale to name a few). He also reflects on a changing market - moving away from 60s Ferraris like 250 Lusso and 330 GTC. Jason begins with his first wave highlights - including but not limited to: Lancia Stratos, Lancia Thema 8.32, Cizeta-Moroder V16T, Saab 9000 Aero, Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio, E34 BMW M5 with an S70B56 swap, the Kwiek Classics Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series 6-Speed, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Merkur XR4Ti, Jeep Cherokee, and of course Derek's recently acquired Mk1 Jaguar. Derek follows with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, RUF Tribute, Kimera EVO37, the Toyota 2000GT, and more recently the Porsche 911 IROC RSR (to be further explored on a future episode…) Jason remarks on many of the the other great cars he's driven for various Revelations, Ultimate Drag Race, and Ultimate Lap Battle episodes, including the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C8 and C4), Porsche 992 GT3 RS, Ford Mustang GTD, Ford GT (both generations), W204 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (including the Anderzen manual swap), Alpine A110, Audi RS6 Avant, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (the BMW M5 Touring was unfortunately not so good). But not to worry- plenty of Carmudgeonation goes down - with roasts of the automatic Porsche 996 Turbo, BMW i3 and i8, the ND2 Mazda Miata, and even Jason's own MK3 Cabrio (while it still had its 2.slow). All this and more, on this week's end-of-2025 finale of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In deze editie van het GPFans Eindejaarsgesprek spreken we Richard Verschoor over zijn toekomst als McLaren coureur en de nieuwe Viaplay-documentaire: 'Op Eigen Kracht'.

This week's episode topic comes from a listener-submitted AMA request - one worthy of its own episode. They ask - what single metric about a car's driving experience tells you the most before you drive it? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote!  === At first, you may think there's one straightforward answer. But you'd be wrong. Discussion begins with Jason's MK1 Volkswagen Cabriolet - a car he claims is the most fun he's ever driven. Derek roughly agrees - but counters with the Peugeot 205 Rallye, and much more substantially - the McLaren F1. But how can a nearly 40 year old subcompact convertible be as rewarding to drive as a hypercar? Mass seems like the obvious answer - but a 4000 lb car from today can often out-dance a 2000 lb car from 35 years ago. Take a Lotus Elise (perhaps, with a small cow in it) and a Rivian R1T - both will dance around a race track in a much more similarly than differently vs. any car and truck combination from even 10 years ago. Having covered that base, Jason and Derek explore other possibilities - including peak horsepower per RPM and engine configuration. Derek recalls a time when Alfa Romeo stuffed their Twin Cam four cylinder in everything from GTVs to large Ambulances - simply because it was a such a good engine despite whatever weight it was tasked to pull around. Jason decides to ask AI what it thinks, answering (oddly) with the Toyota Matrix, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa. On theme with the MK1 Cabriolet, the boys discuss structural rigidity - which leads to another exploration of convertibles ranging from 996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, to BMW Z3M, Mercedes-Benz SLK, and of course- the Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet. There's an answer for everyone out there - and more on this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There's more! Lando won the championship, but who deserved it more? Max? Charles Leclerc? George Russell?

The season finale gave us EVERYTHING. Lando Norris is your new Formula 1 World Champion, Max defends with everything he has, Charles goes full send, and Oscar Piastri closes out one of the best seasons we've ever seen from an Aussie, even if it didn't end in a win. In this episode, we break down Abu Dhabi GP. Lando becoming World Drivers Champion, Max's defensive heroics, Leclerc's late-race surge, and Oscar's season-long brilliance that turned him into a future World Champion in waiting.

Verstappen wil winnen in Abu Dhabi, maar zijn titelkansen hangen af van de finishpositie van Lando Norris. Max voelt geen druk en kijkt nuchter uit naar de seizoensfinale, waarin hij vooral plezier wil hebben en het de McLarens lastig wil maken.Join onze Discord server!Discord: https://discord.gg/gpfans-978218116251275284

Qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has set the stage for an absolutely wild final race of the season. Max Verstappen on pole. Lando Norris P2. Oscar Piastri just behind and Australians were staying up for this one. We break down everything from quali, why this track is traditionally won from the front row, how a single safety car could flip it, and whether this race has already been decided before lights out. We also cover:     •    the Lewis Hamilton crash in FP3 and spin in Q1     •    McLaren team dynamics     •    Constructors money battles     •    The final race ever with DRS before the X-Mode/Z-Mode era begins in 2026 This is the championship decider. Anything can happen in Abu Dhabi tonight.

The Qatar Grand Prix blew the championship wide open, and with one race left, everything comes down to the fallout from one moment: the Lap 7 Safety Car. We break down how that decision and the chaos that followed may have cost Oscar Piastri the entire championship. We dive deep into the Lando vs Oscar tension, McLaren's strategy roulette, and whether team orders should have been used. Plus: how Max Verstappen managed to turn Qatar into a massive advantage heading into the final round. We also unpack the penalties, the tyre drama, and the midfield surprises that no one saw coming. And of course a very big kudos to Carlos Sainz. This is your ultimate Qatar GP debrief; messy, dramatic, hilarious, and full of receipts as we head into what could be the wildest championship finale in years!

What does hope look like for you? For some, hope looks like a lottery ticket or a Scratchie.For me, hope looks like McLaren in Formula 1. Bruce McLaren, a Kiwi racing driver, founded McLaren F1 in 1963. I became a fan, being introduced to F1 and the team by the Melvins, who attended the first church I pastored at Enoggera in QLD in the late 90s. That was perfect timing because it also coincided with when they stopped winning constructors' championships.But I lived in hope, and last year and this year McLaren won, and I continue to hope that either Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri will win the driver's championship next weekend.We can find hope in all sorts of places. What gives you hope, and how do you give hope to others?A message by David Toscano.

#533 3 Wheels On My Wagon. We discuss trikes, a good or a bad idea, and why don't we see them anymore? Alex goes to China with BYD and Abu Dhabi with A2RL. Plus: McLaren sign Ella Hakkinen. And the Chancellor introduces eVED.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix gave us everything: controversy, shock disqualifications and a massive twist in the championship fight. This week on Paddock 43, we break down McLaren's double disqualification and what it really means for Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and the rest of the drivers' standings. We dig into Max Verstappen's Vegas win, how it sets up Red Bull heading into the final rounds, and who we actually think will become the 2025 Drivers' Champion. We also get into Mercedes and why Kimi Antonelli was our Driver of the Day, and Pat drops a very bold prediction about George Russell. To wrap, we look ahead to the Qatar GP, make some spicy predictions, and talk about how this weekend could shape the final showdown in Abu Dhabi, and of course we wrap it up with our Green Flag and Red Flag.

In this episode of Paddock 43, we sit down with Karl Reindler - one of only TWO people in the world trusted to drive the Formula 1 Medical Car. Karl takes us inside the job no one talks about but every F1 fan should know: following the entire grid at full speed on Lap 1, arriving first at major crashes, and making split-second decisions that can save lives. We dive deep into: The insane reality of being the first responder in F1 What it was like arriving first at Zhou Guanyu's terrifying 2022 Silverstone crash How some drivers react (and don't react) after major incidents How Karl went from F3 Champion & Supercars driver to F1 Medical Car driver The pressure of piloting “the fastest ambulance in the world” The wildest things he's seen from behind the scenes that fans never get to hear about Karl also opens up about his own fireball crash, how it shaped his dedication to motorsport safety, and why this role has become the most meaningful chapter of his life. This episode pulls back the curtain on one of F1's most intense and misunderstood roles and shows just how critical the Medical Car team is to the sport we love.

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

This week on Paddock 43, we unpack one of the most dramatic weekends of the Formula 1 season, the Brazilian Grand Prix We kick things off with the moment everyone's talking about: Kimi Antonelli's bump into Oscar Piastri, the controversial 10-second penalty, and why we think Oscar was unfairly punished. Did the stewards get it wrong? Or was Antonelli really to blame? Then, we dive into the drivers' championship battle, is it Lando Norris' year? We discuss whether Oscar's time is still to come and how the McLaren rivalry is shaping up heading into the final races. We also dive deep into Franco Colapinto's contract extension and what this means for Jack Doohan's F1 dream. And, as always, we wrap things up with our Green Flag / Red Flag.

McLaren might have just handed Max Verstappen the psychological edge he needed to take another world title.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a stunning twist ahead of the Brazil GP, McLaren CEO Zak Brown's comments around 2007 and comparing it to Max Verstappen's tear in the title sent shockwaves through the paddock. What was meant as a message of unity between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri has instead comes off as McLaren conceding defeat before the fight is over.Clearly, this message has not landed the way it was intended to. Sure, the bosses of the McLaren F1 team is thinking about its team, but the 'external noise' is sounding off as the team's take on Max's surge has become a little muddied.Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff#f1 #landonorris #formula1 #f12025 #maxverstappen #oscarpiastri #mclaren #mclarenf1team #redbullracing #redbullf1 #f1news #f1latest #formula12025 #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #papayarules #f1drama #saopaulogp McLaren Just Gifted Max Verstappen the Upper Handhttps://youtu.be/dRNci8ZJbDkCan't watch the ladder?

The 2025 Formula 1 season has been WILD to say the least... from Oscar Piastri's incredible home win in Melbourne to the shock end (and restart) of Max Verstappen's dominance, we break down everything that's happened so far this year.In this episode, we dive into the standout moments that have defined the season - Nico Hülkenberg's shock podium, Isack Hadjar's breakout moment, and Carlos Sainz's impressive run with Williams Racing. We look back at Lewis Hamilton's lone win and unpack what's gone right (and wrong) for each of the top teams.Then we shift gears to what's next... crunching the championship math to see whether Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, or even George Russell can take home the 2025 Drivers' Championship and previewing this weekend's upcoming Brazilian GP at Interlagos. If you want a refresh on what's been, what's still to come, and who could actually win this title fight,  strap yourself in, it's a good one.

Colton Herta is a nine-time winner in the NTT IndyCar Series including the youngest ever at the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas. He has also dominated events like the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. It was recently announced that he would be leaving his Andretti Global Indy car team and moving on to become the test and reserve driver for the new Cadillac Formula One team. It's also expected for him to compete in the full F2 schedule as well, although as of this writing, no details have been announced. Herta spent 2015 and 2016 racing and winning in Europe in the junior formulae there, so that should also help ease his transition a bit. We caught up with him at the AGPLB media day where he filled us in on the intricacies of getting the most out of the Firestone primary (black) and alternate (red/green) tires for qualifying and racing. This knowledge will be beneficial to him in F1 as Pirelli also uses different tire compounds during race weekends. Enjoy!NOTE: For more information on Herta's F1 exploits, please visit: www.cadillacf1team.comTo hear an earlier raceschool.com podcast interview with Herta where he talks about testing a McLaren F1 car, please visit: https://raceschool.com/raceschool-com-podcast-colton-herta-interview-part-two/

The 2025 Mexico Grand Prix turned the Formula 1 world upside down. Lando Norris took victory and snatched the championship lead from Oscar Piastri, ending the Aussie's incredible title run and flipping the fight on its head.... for now.. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton was hit with a brutal 10-second penalty after clashing with Max Verstappen, reigniting an old rivalry. And over at Mercedes, George Russell's team radio meltdown said it all as frustration boils over. We break down:

Think you know F1 tyres? Think again. In this episode of Paddock 43, we dive deep into one of Formula 1's most overlooked, but absolutely crucial topics: tyres. From how different compounds work and what the new 2025 tyre compositions mean for the season, to how teams use tyre strategy to win (or lose) races, we break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. We chat about why tyre management can make or break a Grand Prix, how many tyres teams are allowed to use, what happens to used sets after race weekend, and how tyre wars have shaped F1 history. Whether you're new to the sport or a lifelong fan, this episode will finally make you understand why everyone's obsessed with “the undercut.”

Elle's solo and she's raging.This week on Paddock 43, it's a one-woman debrief on the Singapore Grand Prix — and McLaren have her stress-eating an Oscar Piastri burger at 9AM.From Williams literally catching fire

This week on Paddock 43 we unpack one of the wildest (and longest) weekends Formula 1 has seen this year. The Baku GP delivered pure chaos with six red flags, heartbreak for Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz calling it “the best podium of my career” after Williams pulled off a smooth operation. Plus some slightly insane conspiracy theories around Lando Norris. Off-track, the gossip was just as juicy: Hadjar rumoured as Max Verstappen's 2026 teammate Arvid potentially joining Racing Bulls (and what this means for Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda) Azerbaijan GP extended to 2030 Lando Norris in British Vogue and liking an OnlyFans model's page

We're back with a full breakdown of the Italian Grand Prix weekend at Monza!! And yes, it was as chaotic as the Tifosi hoped (and feared). From Ferrari's special livery and Charles and Lewis giving Vatican-core energy, to a fiery start that saw Norris and Verstappen battling through the first chicane, there's a lot to unpack. We cover Max Verstappen's dominant drive back to the top, and we dive DEEP into the McLaren drama and our hot take on this controversy. Plus, all the latest F1 news - Guenther Steiner buying a MotoGP team, Pierre Gasly re-signing with Alpine, Monaco's extension, Williams' penalty review drama, and Daniel Ricciardo becoming Ford's newest ambassador. In Social Corner, it's HB Carlos Sainz (gelato in hand), a spicy Verstappen-Checo dad drama, and a wholesome look at Isa Bernadini building an app to help the visually impaired. We also talk random Monza moments and finish up with our Green and Red Flags of the week. Strap in, it's a good one! Thinking about your next car? Check out Nero Financial's car financing options.

There is technically no overall winner of Monterey Car Week. But unofficially, it's safe to say - the GMSV S1 LM takes that title. === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires:https://www.vredestein.com/ === Monterey Car Week was more than three weeks ago now, yet we're still having withdrawals. This week, Jason and Derek dive deeper into their individual experiences at the world's most anticipated automotive event of the year, how the event has evolved with new audiences and activities, and how we might expect the event to change next year given these changes. From The Quail, to Concours D'Lemons, to Motorlux, to drifting at Monterey Motorsports Fest, Car Week always has something for everyone. Amongst those highlights, Jason and Derek discuss their exclusive peak around the new Gordon Murray Special Vehicles concept cars: the S1 LM and the Le Mans GTR. Both cars pay tribute to the McLaren F1 in very different ways, but match in their bespoke 4.3L NA V12 powerplants. Derek also discusses his time driving the new RUF Tribute with Alois Ruf himself in the passenger seat. Yet another restomod phenomenon, the new RUF shares very few parts with a Porsche 911 - Jason and Derek discuss this latest evolution and how it compares to the SCR that they've both driven at previous car weeks.

On this weeks paddock 43 episode we chat about F1's worst (but best) kept secret - Bottas and Checo to Cadillac! We then dove straight into the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which was sure to deliver and was an exceptional way to welcome us back after the summer break. Oscar Piastri converted pole into victory, extending his championship lead and keeping McLaren on top. Lando Norris suffered a late-race retirement from P2, handing second place to Max Verstappen at home, while rookie Isack Hadjar secured a sensational first-ever Formula 1 podium in P3 for Racing Bulls. Three Safety Cars, major incidents involving Hamilton, Leclerc, and Antonelli, and standout drives from George Russell, Alex Albon, and Ollie Bearman kept the field in constant flux. We also cover key news from the summer break, including Checo Pérez and Valtteri Bottas contract confirmations, and react to some of the funniest driver moments off-track.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I chat with Andy Wilson, Senior Director at Dropbox, to explore how AI is quietly but fundamentally changing how we work. Andy offers a deep dive into Dropbox Dash, an AI-powered search and knowledge management tool designed to cut through digital noise and reclaim the one thing most professionals are running out of: time. We unpack how Dash is solving the growing problem of content sprawl by integrating with over 60 SaaS platforms, offering AI-driven answers instead of just links. Andy describes it best: the internet lets you search all of human knowledge, but good luck finding that one deck from last quarter in your company's Google Drive. Dash aims to fix that. And it's already doing so for teams like McLaren F1, who use the platform to coordinate high-stakes race weekends with precision and security. We also discuss how Dropbox is adopting AI internally, from the acquisition of Reclaim.ai to enhancing virtual-first collaboration with intelligent scheduling and governance tools. For Dropbox, AI isn't a novelty. It's becoming the backbone of how distributed teams work better together. Andy likens it to having a personalized chief of staff, helping you prioritize, organize, and even remind you when to take a break. Our conversation also touches on Andy's creative roots at the BBC and Aardman, and how those experiences shaped his product thinking today. He shares real examples of how Dropbox supports content creators and knowledge workers alike, including feedback tools like Dropbox Replay and user-generated storytelling workflows powered by simple file request features. If you're wrestling with digital overload, managing hybrid teams, or just wondering how AI can actually help without taking over, this episode is for you. Andy paints a grounded, human picture of the future of work, one where AI supports creativity and restores clarity, not chaos.

Tired of boring, lookalike crossovers? The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce is the answer to that issue. It and the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla FX are our road test vehicles this week. Host Jack Nerad found himself at the controls of the Tonale, a compact SUV that brings Italian luxury and performance to a pretty ho-hum segment. With its sharp design, 268-horsepower turbo engine, adaptive suspension, and upscale interior, it offers a distinctive alternative in a crowded class. The Veloce trim that Jack Nerad tested features adaptive dampers, optional 20-inch alloy wheels, and performance-tuned steering for sharper handling. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine is teamed with standard with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Tonale offers leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. With its distinctive styling, including the test car's optional Verde Fangio green paint and signature LED lighting, the Tonale Veloce brings premium European character to the compact SUV segment. At a special Toyota event in Plano, Texas, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo took the wheel of the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Edition. The colorful trim builds on the SE model with unique visual and functional upgrades that nod to the original 1980s-vintage FX16. It features a black vented sport wing for added aerodynamic flair, 18-inch gloss white alloy wheels, and retro FX badging on the rear hatch. Inside, it offers suede-trimmed sport seats accented by orange contrast stitching, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, and standard wireless charging. The FX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower, and offers a sporty suspension setup and a manufacturer-estimated 33 mpg combined. Only 1,600 units will be offered in the U.S., and it will come in three vibrant color choices: Inferno, Ice Cap, and Blue Crush Metallic. In our news segment, we will discuss Cadillac's debut of the 2026 Optiq-V, a performance-oriented electric SUV boasting 519 horsepower, an estimated 275-mile range, and Cadillac's first use of the North American Charging Standard. With dramatic styling, launch control, and a 33-inch LED display, it's yet another move in General Motors' EV strategy. That strategy might take its lumps as the Trump Administration takes steps to roll back Biden-era fuel economy regulations, citing legal issues with the way EVs were factored into earlier targets. While immediate changes are limited, this signals a broader shift in auto policy that could ease pressure on automakers but potentially slow progress toward emissions reduction. Speculation swirled this week about Porsche manufacturing cars in the U.S., but the company denied any such plans, citing low volumes and high costs. Despite that, ongoing tariff talks and Volkswagen Group's broader American investment strategy suggest the door may not be fully closed. Matt DeLorenzo and Jack Nerad will share their thoughts on those prospects. Tesla also made headlines with the resignation of Milan Kovac, head of its Optimus robot project. Kovac played a major role in developing Tesla's humanoid robotics program, and his departure raises questions about the future of the bold, still-developing initiative. In Los Angeles, the Petersen Automotive Museum has launched its *“Totally Awesome! Cars and Culture of the '80s and '90s”* exhibit. With standout vehicles like the McLaren F1, Audi S1 E2 rally car, and Ferris Bueller's Ferrari replica, the show is a nostalgic and immersive look at two transformative automotive decades. Our special guest this week is Doron Levin, a longtime automotive journalist and editor at BetterInvesting, who joins us to share his insights on where the industry is heading. Jack caught up with him at a Toyota event in Texas. Finally,

Bank robbers prefer sport sedans: all the speed of a supercar with seating for all their accomplices — and trunk space for their loot. And the fast sedan was born with the Jaguar sedan powered by a Le Mans-winning-engine. In the 1950s, Jaguar was on a Le Mans winning streak with its MK120-C and D-Type race cars. But why let the sports cars have all the fun? In 1955 Jaguar introduced the 2.4 Saloon (aka the Mark 1), and a handful of months later plopped their Le Mans-winning 210 hp 3.4L straight-6 engine into the chassis to create the 3.4 Saloon. Equipped with race-spec 4-wheel discs and double-wishbone front suspension it outran everything (including the police), and is arguably the world's first sports sedan. In this episode we'll cover the elegantly menacing Jaguar 3.4 Saloon or “Mark 1”. Starting with how to properly pronounce Jagyoowuhr. Or is it Jagwire? Depends. We'll cover the marque's origins – from Sir William Lyons' Swallow Sidecar Company, to early sports cars like the XK120 and the Le Mans winning streak of the 1950s with the C-Type and D-Type. The 2.4L straight-6, followed by the monster 3.4, then 3.8, and even 4.2 which was used all the way up until the mid-1980s in the XJ6 and even early 90s in the Daimler DS420. The 3.4 Saloon employed 4-wheel disc brakes, double wishbone front suspension, a cantilevered rear leaf spring, and panhard rod. Early cars had centrally-mounted gauges, and the chassis was Jaguar's first to use unitary construction. Sadly, galvanization wouldn't take off for another two decades, starting at Porsche. And while the unibody proved stronger than anticipated, it wasn't strong enough to protect racer Mike Hawthorne when he fatally crashed his Mark 1 while passing a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing in England in 1959. The Mark 1 comes from a bygone era of race cars where Le Mans-winning engines (and entire vehicles) would find their way into dealer showrooms effectively unchanged. With few exceptions since (notably the McLaren F1 – which, incredibly, went the reverse direction from streetcar to dominant race car). The last of the breed may have been the Mark III Ford GT40, as things escalated dramatically with the arrival of the Porsche 917. Luckily for us poors, plenty of lower level racing exists, and we got a handful of other homologation specials to choose from in the form of the BMW E30 M3, Mercedes-Benz 190 2.3-16, Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, and Rover SD1, to name a few. Cars like the Alfa Giulietta Ti sedan give the Jag a challenge for the original sports sedan mantle, but the Italian wasn't first. In today's world, the Jag was a performance-per-dollar bargain akin to a Tesla Model 3. Or possibly a Dodge Charger Hellcat. In any case, today's quintessential sports sedan, the M3, has gotten far too pricey to be considered a bargain. As Derek points out, if you're a thrifty enthusiast, skip the G80 and E30 and get yourself a nice used E36 or E46. No matter what you buy, budget for fixing it (especially if it's a Land Rover). And always, always get a silly license plate. Just maybe one that doesn't tempt fate like Jason's friend's NEED AAA plate. Because, umm, he did. Immediately. [The words Hagerty Roadside didn't fit on the plate. Obviously.] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
