Driven by McLaren Automotive Test Driver Gareth Howell, W1 continues to undergo strenuous dynamic testing as part of our extensive development program. Engineered to be pushed to its limits, the car is honed across some of the world’s most demanding roads and high-performance circuits - with Silverstone providing the perfect proving ground.

Born from racing and motorsport know-how, every lap round the iconic circuit is a pure demonstration of performance, precision and control.
