Here’s The Awkward Moment A McLaren P1 GTR Almost Wiped Out On Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew

In a video that shows us that even the pros get it wrong from time-to-time, one of the factory P1 GTRs has a big moment at the fearsome Laguna Seca Corkscrew with a professional driver at the wheel

According to the video description, at the time of the spin the pro driver here was setting a fast lap time as a benchmark for P1 GTR customers to aim for. Clearly, he was very committed to setting a good time!

Does anyone know why the brakes are squeaking so much?

My first thought would be because of the heat but seen as though the car is meant for racing that doesn’t seem right

from what ive read on the forums for my car, high performance brakes are prone to squeaking…this made me feel a little better knowing that a $1 million car has the same issue with brakes

This mostly happens to performance brakes when they’re cold because they are build to stand high temperatures and a lot of stress.
Practical example: Top gear. the episode where they searched for the ultimate drivers road. james drove a racing aston. the brakes had been squeaking all the time until they where used propely (hard).
