The McLaren Technology Centre has become synonymous with the British company and Jodie Kidd recently had the chance to tour the facility with none other than McLaren Racing chief executive Zak Brown.
Brown was featured in a previous episode of the Kidd in a Sweet Shop series on YouTube where he showed off his personal F1 car collection. In this video, he gives us an in-depth tour of the collection of road and race cars housed within the MTC. To describe it as astonishing would be an understatement.
The tour starts off with the 720S GTX before moving on to some of the British automaker’s famous racing cars, including its Papaya Orange Can Am racing car equipped with a Chevrolet V8. Parked next to this racer is the McLaren’s 1974 Indy 500 car. Some other classic racing cars are featured, including an F1 car driven by James Hunt.

There’s also a host of McLaren F1s, including an original XP5 F1 prototype, an F1 LM, an F1 GTR with a Gulf livery and the Le Mans-winning Ueno Clinic F1 GTR that Brown notes is the most expensive single car in the collection.
A number of more recent Formula 1 cars are also present, including cars driven by the likes of Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and Jenson Button.
The tour ends with an overview of the company’s remarkable trophy cabinet, most of which come from Formula 1.
