I'd been meaning to make time to visit GMA and see the T50 and T33
Really interested to see how good a job the team had done,ì I was intrigued to see what a modern McLaren F1 looked like which is how best to describe the T50
Basically creating an uber-lightweight super car using all the digital age technology/tools available today which we didn't have back when we designed and built the F1
Stuff like CAD for design, FEA with shape optimising for stress analysis, CFD for aerodynamic development, simulation software for suspension/dynamics analysis, CNC for machining and 3D printing
Glad to say everything I saw lived up to my expectations and great fun catching up with a few work friends I'd not seen for 25yrs, so glad Shaun enjoyed the visit too
The car show was located in the next village, was an unplanned extra, thanks to my son mentioning it
This show is as English as a car show can be, cars just turn up, park up where there is a space and everyone just wanders around looking at everything with a quick visit across the road for a pint.
Highlight of the evening was watching a grumpy owner of a brand new McLaren rev off in disgust at being turned away because there were no spaces left on the green. To add insult to his injured ego he had to park up on the road between the ice cream van and some old Italian Vespa scooters
Shaun, you need to post up how the rest of your evening went as there is more!
