Sorry Duncan, no pics of the Mclaren cars within the building, and there wasn't many outside.

More pics here.

Top day out. Thanks to Mike Jones for the invitation, and the guided tour (and the Chinese meal after!).

The McLaren Technology Centre is an awesome facility. Shame they won't let you take pics inside.

There were some impressive cars on display outside though. Great to see Andy Frost's Victor drive in off the street.

Derek, hope you don't mind me adding them to your thread.

It's an unbelievable place, just that these pictures don't show that.

When I say unbelievable, that's really an injustice . . . It most definitely is a super facility from all aspects, design, layout, equipment, personnel....
It is 2nd to none.
