Watwheels Supersonic July 13, 2021 Share July 13, 2021 I saw on Youtube in US a mechanic repair a badly damaged 720S, the carbon tub was cracked so he sourced for another crashed 720S with an intact tub. That alone cost US$10K. In the US there are many salvage car parts but in Singapore you can forget it. The workshops in US know how to repair the fiberglass fender and door panels. They also have a mclaren dealership that can supply the brackets and small parts. Here I dunno what workshop can do the repairs. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just maintain even throttle pressure. I used to drive with my Drivetrain on Race and my handling on Sport and it was... lively. But fun. i think this is why i loved my gtr ... its a nanny car for sure, but im damn sure it was smarter than me when it comes to driving ... 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any WS here that is able to repair carbon tub here. The oven to cure carbon is huge and expensive. In fact, i don't think there is even 1 to repair carbon bike. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sane person will repair it. yeap! you cant even knock or bando (putty) it , all has to be ordered brand new (no second hand parts even in Sungei Kadut) or............. wait maybe can try Carousell/ Ebay 😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone (IMO, rightly) pointed out the McL was already skidding from the early part of the video. I don't think he was trying to cut in front of the car cam as earlier thought. Also, looking at the relative speed to the black MPV, the cam car was not driving fast enough to look like they were racing...when u see those other speeding videos, the speeding cars really just zoom past other normal cars, but not in this video. Nowadays some "critics" tends to think too much. Might need some expert to make a frame by frame speed calculation to confirm maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 720S is likely going to be written off. It's not as much of significance and value compared to Rowan Atkinson's crashed F1 😄 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
