BMW McLaren

Who has a BMW McLaren GTR Race Car?

 

[Coenraad]

I do, i bought it from the UCD last week. And man what a pain in the butt to drive. The rear end really likes to break out when power is aplied.

I'm surprised, I've been reading nothing but good things about it. I've been trying to get one for awhile.

What? Its arguably the best 650pp car. (Excluding detuned LMP's and wondercars like the 2J). Amazing handling, top speed, acceleration.

I think its an absolute blissful drive, and certainly my favorite in its PP range.

The car can't be traded as you may know. The only way to get it is get yourself a Level 23 ticket, or keep cycling the UCD

I've never seen it in UCD. I just got a level 23 ticket but haven't opened it yet. Chances are it won't be the car I'm looking for.

Well I feel like a broken record saying this, but if you have a USB drive you can back-up your save file onto it and keep deleting / backing up your save when you open the ticket, until you get the Bimmer

Thanks for the advice, didn't even think of that.

There's an even easier way:

Open the ticket with the square button (open all tickets).
This way you can see what car you get before the game auto saves.
If you don't get the McLaren, just quit to XMB, re-start the game, and try again.

I'm currently using this car for the Nurb 24hr race. It can be a tricky car to control yes, but with the right tune its amazing and sounds great. I have a great tune except my LSD Accel is just 1 or 2 points too high for Racing Hards. This means i just have to be careful and gentle on the accelerator

I used your advice and got it soon enough. That is a sweet ride. It's instantly become one of my favorites. I think it's definitely one of the best 650pp cars.

@coenraad, may I suggest the Praiano tune? I found it really calms down the rear.

It is a very rare car for the UCD, I'd try recycling the level 23 ticket.

I too am using Praiano's tune, and I recommend it. Also, here's Adrenaline's tuning website, which lists every tune.

Cheers. Will look at it when i go drive it again. Atm it is just collecting dust, since i like both Corvette 'RM's allot as well as the ultra grippy Viper GTS-R . But who knows, it might grow on me.
