The McLaren F1 is widely regarded as one of the greatest and rarest cars ever built, attracting car fans and collectors worldwide. But exactly how many McLaren F1s were made?

Formula 1 drivers race at the highest level of motorsports, pushing their cars and themselves to the edge of what's possible. A big part of reaching these speeds is dealing with strong G-forces - or gravitational forces - while they speed up, slow down, or drive around corners.

F1 race length isn’t based on a simple time. Instead, it comes down to covering a set distance-measured in kilometers or miles-with strict time rules as backup.

While other cars designed just for straight-line runs or certain oval tracks (like some IndyCars) can go even faster in a straight, F1 machines stand out for how quickly they can get around twisting, technical tracks. This comes from a mix of smart aerodynamics, strong hybrid engines, and specialized tires.
