Driving P1easure Ever since a few minutes of teaser footage was released showing Chris Harris having some serious fun in the brand new McLaren P1 at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi, many have been waiting for the full thing and finally we have it and boy was it worth the wait. In the video which lasts almost 30mins we are taken on a brilliant journey about the latest halo car from McLaren and everything in it is so enjoyable to watch. From the lengthy chat about it's technical aspects, the ride-along and basic test of it's everyday road-going capability, all the way up to the feature presentation of it's on-track prowess and madness and it's all because Harris is so good at conveying what he is experiencing. His descriptions are easily understandable and the reactions on his face tell more than any wise-cracking speech about the components and how they're made could ever say. And anyone who has watched Harris' work, knows that when he says something like the below, that we are truly in for something special and with lots of tire smoke! Am I allowed to spank this thing on a circuit? For any car-loving enthusiast this is essential viewing, it doesn't matter whether you align yourself to a particular make or any of that nonsense as this is simply a video about the joy of driving in an astonishing car. We could tell you all the good parts that's in the video but that would be unfair and it's much better for you to follow the video along and experience them for yourself. So go grab a drink, turn your volume up, sit back and just take in all of the video below.

Abu Dhabi F1 track has everything but loopdy loops Posted Oct 31st 2008 4:58PM by Jonathon Ramsey Filed under: Motorsports The last round of the Formula One Grand Prix has in recent years been held in Brazil. Next year's provisional calendar makes Brazil the penultimate round, and puts the final race in Abu Dhabi at the country's brand new track. The F1 circus runners got a chance to see the track where next year's championship will be decided (cross fingers), and as one might expect from something out of the Middle East, it's got everything and then some. Designed by the man who created the Bahrain, Sepang and Valencia tracks, the Abu Dhabi circuit gets a course that runs through a hotel, a pit lane that runs under the track, and boasts 20 turns. Around the track will also be Ferrari World, the Yas Island Marina, a water park and sports facilities. All of that is fantastic, but we want the one thing we haven't heard about yet and that we didn't get from the new tracks in Valencia and Singapore: passing. Check out the galley of high-res images below and see if you think that enormous back straight will do the trick. Gallery: Abu Dhabi Formua 1 Circuit From Autoblog
