Previous experience has told me that the McLaren 720S is a fabulous machine, but taking it for some laps on track helped me find a whole new fondness for it! Day two of my adventure to New Zealand has me joining up with McLaren Auckland at Hampton Downs for a track drive with both the 570S Spider and 720S in Bruce McLaren's homeland. Do you think I should be adding one to the collection though?
Heading over to the circuit in the 570S Spider that McLaren Auckland have very kind leaned me to drive for a few days, we then join up with approximately 30 other participants and their cars at one of New Zealand's major race tracks; Hampdon Downs. With the day featuring numerous aspects, let's focus on the track laps with both cars as well as exploring the different cars present at the event.
As well as the road models on show, we can also see one of the four 570 GT4 cars that are in New Zealand as well as the dealership's own 1973 M23A Formula 1 cars as driven by Denny Hulme.
A special thanks goes to the Giltrap Group and McLaren Auckland for the opportunity to join them for the day, as well as the other guests taking part for their hospitality and kindness.
Thanks for watching, Tim

I'm sold, it looks outstanding!😍. can't wait for a LT version to drop😃👍👍. I have alot More respect for McLaren now than when they first dropped the mp4-12c( that car never really grew on me)

Not sure if you know .... both Denny Hulme and Bruce McLaren passed away, while racing, behind the wheel. Bruce at the Goodwood racing circuit behind the wheel of his McLaren M8D CanAm racing car. And Denny Hulme at the Bathurst racing circuit behind the wheel of a BMW M3 ....an often forgotten McLaren test driver Timmy Mayer, Teddy Mayer's younger brother, also passed away behind the wheel of a Cooper F1 racing car at a racing circuit at Tasmania, Longford ...

Mclaren is a brand that you won't like it on a first look. You will only like it when you have a chance to drive it out onto the road and the track to figure out what the car is capable of, what its characteristics was and what is the feedback you get from the car. Just like me, when I just know Mclaren, I doesn't interested in it at all but after I have a chance to drove my friend's Mclaren 675LT, I completely fall in love with Mclaren and ended up owning 3 of them which is the Mclaren 570S, Mclaren 675LT and the Mclaren 720S. So, the point is, Mclaren is a car that worth to own and drive. If you never drive one and understand it, you never feel the same as I feel.
