i was suprised to see Rowan on top gear, and that he's actually a bit of a rev-head. i guess he forgot he wasn't on the track.

Good to hear he made it out relatively unscathed.
Sorry to hear about the loss of his McLaren, he did love that car. One less McLaren F1 makes the world a little worse off :(

I'm betting that McLaren is now a lot more reasonably priced....

Good on him for driving it as much as he did, as it should be. Most F1s would be sitting in a garage for display purposes only with owners looking at the "investment value" over actually driving this awesome drivers car.

The original report says the car burst into flames, but the pics don't show that! Did someone blow it out?
It looks like the passenger compartment held up well.

lol wtf.. looks like the rear end (engine and everything) 'just' fell out...
hmm from reading the report looks like he swiped a tree? hitting the rear and ripping that part of the car off.

At least it was being used and not hidden away and polished. It'll be rebuilt.

At least hes out there driving a supercar as a daily
 Good on him!Looks like the rear end has sheared off, and its probably designed to do that. The front end has held up very well, and its probably repairable (once again)
