Excellent show. Us British still do it best. The perfection and attention to detail that go's into these cars is simply stunning. A great to see Mclaren as a car manufacturer, not just a Formula 1 team, going up in the world.

the mclaren works, its positively pressured so when external doors are opened, the air moves out rather than in, so dust and other small rubbish doesnt contaminate the factory.

Hopefully I can catch this on iPlayer or something.
Yeah, I sometimes wish I had chosen a different career path. I was good enough at maths to have gone down the engineering route as well. Unfortunately, I only really developed an interest in more recent years.actually wish I couldve knuckled down more at school/college and applied for an motorsport engineering degree at uni! wouldve loved to work there! god what an amazing job, fitting McLarens together!
