Here's All The Insanely Cool Stuff You Get When You Buy A McLaren P1 (That No One Tells You About)

600LT owner here, not P1. But I think the USB is supposed to be plugged into the car near the center console and used with McLaren track telemetry option so it can record videos of you on the track or driving around doing donuts if you choose. It offers all kinds of stats like throttle position, braking position, timing, etc. You can then plug the usb into your computer and view the videos with McLaren's PC software.

[@stephenlane9168]

Yours came with sand

[@teddyruxpin3811]

@ovipositron1 no I did not spec my McLaren with the sand and ocean water package

[@itachi1145]

I got a die-cast p1 for $8 from Lowes. The doors open, and the wheels move. Would make a much better gift for your kids. At that price you could probably afford to do one in Salt water.

[@vehicles_n_stuff]

I got a hot wheels P1 for $1, so I could have a fleet of 500000+ for the price of Freddy’s, and they would be just as drivable

[@mikebelcher5111]

Every time I go in Lowe's I buy one of those. Yeah, they are pretty good models.

[@yash.kapoor]

[@axeavier]

You absolutely should get a model of your McLaren P1 but in the same state as you found it, with the shattered window, sand everywhere, destroyed wheel, bent body, etc. Of course it should be in box to contain all the sand and branches

[@casualobserver77]

I'll never get enough of your P1 content man This is the greatest car rebuild ever

[@deanchur]

If you ever get a (super rare) chance, have a look at a McLaren F1 owners manual as well. If you think the P1 came with a book that impresses the F1 manual will blow your mind. Hagerty has an article on how it was made that will give you an idea of how much effort went in to making it.

[@extra-dry]

Noticed something similar to my 570S owners manual. McLaren likes huge margins and small silver font. My owners manual is just about impossible to read if your over 70 years old. Also, it's twice as thick as it has to be because of the huge margins on each page. It also doesn't help that the paper is very glossy so the small silver/grey font doesn't show up as well as you would hope. You have to wonder why😮

The views will go a long way to pay for that car, plus once it runs and is valuated it’s now an asset that will at least have a stable worthiness if not appreciate in value

[@davideckersley4240]

To make a more realistic diorama, you could place a model tree next to the scale mode of the P1 and encase both in resin, just up the roof line of the car! It would be a perfect recreation of the fateful journey your car has been through.

[@yash.kapoor]

I wouldn't suggest doing that to a $5000+ scale model though. There are cheaper diecast models of the P1 that he can get for about $200-300 and create a diorama using those

[@yash.kapoor]

@@benimes9648 yes that would make more sense, although for someone who's just bought a $5000+ scale model, I think he could splurge some more on a model with more accurate casting and tighter panel gaps.

[@benimes9648]

@@yash.kapoor I agree, the MotorMax one isn't very good. I was so excited when I saw on in a store till I started inspecting it.

[@Swiss4.2]

The model is probably resin and not die-cast, that's why it can't open since resin models are cast from a single block. Still very cool though.

[@rahul_2321]

The flash drive is for the telemetry system, so your track drives can be recorded onto it using the car's built in track telemetry system and cameras.

[@SupercarAdventurer]

I attended the 12C launch in Vancouver and got one of those McLaren USB’s with all the press photos and details about the 12C. Pretty cool actually.

[@benje302]

I’ve not been in a P1 but I was lucky to be a passenger in the F1 back in the early ‘90s at the test track in Woking in the UK. The driver was Mclarens chief test driver.

Hey Freddy, if you decide NOT to spring for the McLaren hood badge, you should make a really nice version of the symbol you showed in the book at 4.48 into the video.

[@pedrodixon-queeman8631]

Freddy, I love your sense of humor. If what is happening has not happen. Is no sense in worrying about it. If what has happened is happening. It's too late to worry about it. No matter if you r McLaren is in pieces. It is expensive pieces. It's being repaired. You still are a proud owner of a McLaren P1. And it is still more expensive, than anyone have to include myself. And even your pieces is more expensive then what most can afford. Hold your head up, everything will be alright! God bless.. 😊

[@jumanji7038]

I don't know if this is something you would be interested in, but there's a company called Amalgam Models (you may have already heard of them) who can make 1:8 scale models (not a typo, they're massive) in the exact specifcation of your P1, might be something cool to do once it's all finished!

[@RickMHB]

Just a guess, is the USB for the track telemetry stuff? Like you can see how you drove your laps and your laptimes.

[@JM-er9ry]

765LT owner and friend has a p1 & 600LT. The thumb drive is for your performance data monitor, track use black box pretty much!

[@Kalepsis]

If I remember correctly the USB should have the car's build photos from the factory. Pretty sure they did it for the P1 and all the Sennas. Tim Burton (Shmee150) can tell you for sure.

[@pabo8080]

When do we get some new house updates? Or did the Ex take it?

[@colindowney80]

Have you asked the previous owner if he has the charger,as it must of not been in storage compartment, as the hood was closed. Worth a try.

[@AndrewSmart32]

Definitely put that McLaren usb through data recovery software, see what it might have hidden on it!

[@DaftFader]

It's to record track telemetry from the car onto, and can be looked at afterwards with McLarren's track data software afaik. This is why people say it's blank, because it is, until you put track data on it, and open it in the software (other than possibly some special hidden files from McLarren to make it work, that might also show some pictures when opened in the software I'm not sure). ;)

[@eadweard.]

Why would something be hidden?

[@DaftFader]

@@eadweard. Intel (and other software/hardware manufactures) regularly use hidden files for things like windows system files, and USB stick drivers as well as for file registry structures etc. It's so people don't accidentally delete important files for the working of the device. Especially on things like removable storage devices specifically (but not limited to just them). I doubt they hid the pictures by them selves this way, but it's probably just that the bit of programming on the USB stick that's for the track telemetry is hidden so it doesn't get removed by mistake, and this program *may* contain some pictures, but I'm just speculating on that, there may be no pictures at all on it.

[@eadweard.]

@@DaftFader Well any files/drivers etc. needed for it to work would be on the computer rather than the stick. I suppose it could have a hidden partition with the software _to read_ the telemetry data. But difficult to see the motivation for hiding that.

[@DaftFader]

@@eadweard. Na there's often hidden files on USB sticks if for example a specific program they are ment to be used with has some kind of auto boot/auto drive recognition system from inputting the usb, also for putting the stick in things that aren't a pc - like a car - they sometimes will need to have some files on the drive to let the car understand what is pulgged in, as it's not a windows system on the car (but it's not just limeted to them use cases either). They hide them so they don't accidentally get deleated as it can stop the system working, and if they are using a unique file structure system, can brick the drive if the files get removed, depending on what the file structure/software is (and how they implemented it), it would most certainly stop it working as intended even if the drive it's self was saveable from just a re-install of the files. Especially when it will be used in such an expensive car, as these owners may not be tech literate, if they brick the only drive that works with their car's track telemetory system (even if only to the point it needs formatting again and the software reinstalled to it), it will be a huge pain for them to fix it. It's relatively common practise tbh, and is litteraly one checkbox in a menu to implement. If there is an important file needed to communicate with the car on the drive, I can't see why they WOULDN'T hide it tbh...

[@DrivingMeWild.]

Tavarish, The blank USB stick is just a USB stick, you can use it for your computer files and stuff. A lot of luxury and exotic car companies give you one, I have one from Rolls-Royce... good luck with the P one… I can't wait till you bust out the Bondo on that baby...

Get an AUTOart model in 1/8 scale. It is not diecast, It's composite. it's highly detailed inside and out, Doors open and the rear compartment can be removed to see part of the engine and the rear deck spoiler is black and can pop up, wheels spin and turn. It is not considered a toy though, The price can run for this "adult collectible" from $200 to $350. The yellow one is an exact match to your P1.

[@cogboy302]

Me & a mate were fortunate enough to have a chat with the bloke who ran the McLaren F1 team back in the day whilst he showed us around Senna's 1988 MP4/4 F1 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years back. The car didn't run on gas, it ran on a mix of Toluene & Xylene. Apparently the '80s turbo F1 engines liked it and they could run much more boost. (Coincidentally, standard two pack paint thinners/reducer is a 50/50% mix of Toluene & Xylene. Not that I've tried in in car I owned) 😉 It's not cheap though. Works out around the same price as Nitromethane.
