Strange morning at AMP. First time in the 720s and only the second time ever at AMP. I expected a 1:42 maybe sneaking into the 1:41’s but the tires had no grip and I was losing traction a lot. The tires are worn, but I didn’t expect them to lose grip and traction so much. I may have overheated the tires. Also after 930. It was far too hot for me. Fun little track will, be back in the fall.

This was so much fun and so cool to see. I think this was my fifth session of the day and pointed them by as I was still warming my car up.

Great driving! Do you have traction off?
ah man you were on a good lap before the gt3 popped up
Bro get some gloves for better grip
The car has so much grip bro awesome video
It's always damn Corvettes. 😆
How do you like running the 3Rs on track days? I’ve been researching for days now which track tires to pick up that will put up with this desert heat. I was recommended the 3Rs since they can tolerate heat for a good amount of cycles.
very nice
great driving
gawd dayum
nice
good job with the apexes and the steering control when under/oversteering - good corrections
Killed it out there mate!
British track day guy here living in CA too! Dropped you a follow on IG
such a cool car do more to get more subs
Impressive! U like the crs tires for track? I am probably gonna grab a set for the gt3 rs for time trials. I like the crs for autox alot.
Love the video mate🎉
Great lap! How do you find the Girodisc compare to OEM ceramics performance wise? Do you get a good pedal feel? What's the overall stopping power like compared to ceramics and do you get any fade? Thanks :)
Typical brtish driver
Idiot 720 driver 😂keep blaming others in the future, keep driving this way you will be fine lol
Corvette was give way to 720 and suddenly cut him……
Between the Pista and the 765LT, which do you like better overall? Very cool you have both of the hardcore track series cars
Pista has oversteer Sam the racing driver said he's gonna pick a Porsche over it 750s feels better than 765 on tracks most people said it

Do you like the 765lt over your 720S? I have a 720s and thinking about the LT for purchase. I don’t have near your skills. It seems your 720s had a better time at Laguna. Thoughts?
This was the second day of 765LT ownership and the only time I took the LT to Laguna Seca. Going back with the 720s I am much faster as I am more comfortable with the track. To truly see the LT take a look at my Chuckwalla video on my channel. I think I still have the unmodified production car track record there. The LT is a beast on track. No comparison. If I had kept it (sold due to market conditions) I would be in the 1:29's at Laguna for sure, maybe faster. The 720s however is an amazing car, and so good on track. It's just that one level down from an LT.
Nice laps! So that double warning chime at ~3:06 and elsewhere in the video: Is that a low pressure warning as suggested below? I hear that sometimes on my 720S with no corresponding warning lights or indications and never know what it is trying to tell me and have just been accepting it as Mclaren randomness....
In general it’s a warning tone. I’m this context this was low PSI or cold tires. However, I found out from McLaren SF that the mapping for Corsa was wrong and they re-mapped it so should be less. I never got the constant warning sounds when in Corsa tire Mode but that reduces power somewhat
Why did it go into limp mode? Trans temp? Accumulators? What year is it?
ESC issue. Fixed under warranty.
@@thebritishcarguy5506endless esc issues
The gear change could be a lot more aggressive 😊
You have a 720s as well? Take it you don’t short shift in yours?
Compare to your 720S? Pista is much much more track focused I know, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Nice to see some incredible pieces of kit driven hard -
Slicks ... What tires ...
Wasn’t on slicks. I said in the description Nankang CR-S street tires
quality content ❤️🔥, would be nice with some commentary and a better pov angle.
Did you ever find out what caused the car to go in limp mode at Laguna Seca? I'm thinking of getting one but the mandatory pre track inspection and post track inspection is annoying. Might buy one and say "screw the warranty" and make it a track beast with a tune and catless exhaust. YOLO....
Yeah, it got fixed by McLaren...there was a voltage drop between the carbon chasis and the subframe due to some worn bolts. So they cleaned it all up and swapped them out.
Hey dude i thought you were done tracking after you dropped off IG! When you coming to socal tracks?
Tim! Ha! I had other priorities for a while…but couldn’t resist. Started again in October. Loving the 720s Spider. Really is an amazing car but the 765LT is still top drawer! You still tracking? And probably doing Chuckwalla in Feb if you are around! And also when the new bw track opens I’ll want a go of that!
@@thebritishcarguy5506 Yea man I'm on a tear! Laguna two weeks ago, thermal last week, and going to BW probably this Thursday. Lets link up!
Nice lap! And it was late in the day, good for power but probably a bit low for optimum track temps. I heard the low tire pressure warning several times lol. This is a very tough car to crest T1 at full throttle, though, isn't it? Not enough downforce for all that power.
The car can easily do 140mph over the crest. I just have a mental block. There’s a second right there!
Oh for sure. Flat over T1 at that speed demands that you nail the line perfectly or suffer the serious consequences. Not for the faint of heart.
@@gbrauch ha! Thanks for that. 😅😜
Mclaren doing Mclaren things....
Great lap. Neck and neck with my AMG GTR. Pb is 1:32.4. Ran a 1:32.9 yesterday. CRS is great tire. I tried and hated the 3R. Like ice skates first lap. Not great second. Then faster than CRS or AR1 by a second. Day two max grip is equal to 2 day CRS. Day three one second slower than CRS. Personally I like having grip quickly. Outlap can be dangerous for non pro with 3R. IMO. Start finish before bridge 600 is 125 mph. 720 can hit 140 there ? I’m at 136 at top of T1. I only hit 140 but clearly can go faster if o trust my brakes enough. Maybe hit 145 mph.
Nice! My pb before Sunday was a 1:35 in the 720s so happy with the 1:32’s. Yes this was last session on Sunday. Only my second time at Laguna in the 720s spider. I was on for a 1:31 and got limphome ESC error at T10 😅 I’ll post that video later. Yeah at the crest should be 140 in the 720s. I’m just so slow…comparatively. Should be in the low 1:30’s once I get past that mental hurdle and some 3R tires. Which tires were you running yesterday?
Congrats. Was that yesterday too ?
It was yes.
Nice driving. I was in the Silver GTR following my buddy in his Pro. Looks like you were gaining about second every lap on us. Were were running mid 35s and one 1:34.8. I was having fun following my friend who knocked a second off his PB in 600LT. FYI I was running 32s solo earlier in the day.
Nice! Yeah loved watching you both drive that way. Congrats on the 1:32…great cars and driving!
@@thebritishcarguy5506love my car. Have looked at 720s for years. Can’t afford the 765. Both Amazing machines. AAMG GTR is surprisingly capable considering its 3700 curb weight.
any modifications done? i got turbos and trans from renntech on my GTR, pushing 800hp, kept it instead of my 720s cause of reliability, would highly recommend if you love the GTR
P r o m o S M 😊
Nice drive
Nice run with the 3R's👍
Patience is a skill that is hard to train to most drivers. You clearly have the faster car..so why not just be patient and wait for a better opportunity to overtake.
Unlike most of the comments, I'd argue that the Corvette may have most of the blame here. If he gave a point-by, why did he make it hard for the McLaren to pass him? While sure, I get that the McLaren was relatively far away, these are cars that can catch up to each other fairly quickly. He should've done what they do at the 'Ring and let him pass, unless this is a proper race.
In this case it would have been roughly a 80/20 fault against the 720s. You received a point from the Corvette yes but its still your responsibility to ensure the safe spacing of your own car. For example, if someone waves at me to cross an intersection and I end up T-Boning someone as a result the insurance company will blame ME for the incident as I should not be relying on someone else to confirm the current road conditions
can’t buy talent unfortunately lmao point by is for passing zone (straights) doesn’t apply to heavy breaking zones. He is allowed to hold his line given you haven’t completed the pass. This was his corner and dive bombed him like max did lewis at monza t1 lol
Corvette driver did nothing wrong just kept his lane like he was supposed ngl that shit almost happen bc of u but idk that’s how I see it yk
Keep ur line bruh 😂
literally worst driver ive ever seen (you) and you are the track karen
> british > dives into the corner from way back, nearly causing an incident > blames other driver because accountability is hard Ok George Russell
you can still delete the video, you know u almost fucked that up.
Its your fault bro. Point buys are for straight-aways unless he holds the point through the turn.
these comments are gold
