:excited:excited Enjoy!

> 15 years since a McLaren F1 GTR famously won the gruelling Le Mans 24 Hours race on its debut, McLaren has begun development work to turn the new MP4-12C into a limited volume of GT3 racing cars. These will be available in time for 2012 GT3 championships.
> 
> With its revolutionary, carbon fibre MonoCell, the 12C is proving to be a natural platform on which to develop a race-winning car.

How do you hate the road car when the GT3 is almost the same car with a big wing on the back and slight changes to the front end and some canards put on? That is kind of the whole idea behind the GT3 class.
