I was talking about the McLaren F1 Road Car. I don't think the game recognizes transmission abuse so no worries there. If I can improve the handling that would be huge, it has an easy 10MPH advantage on the straights over the Porsche and 5MPH over some of the other cars but the default handling is atrocious. If the rears wear out fast I would guess it's mainly due to corner exit throttle application. I also don't think they model power steering in the game but in real life power steering on race cars has been common since at least the 80's but it doesn't mean the F1 had it real life. What I mainly noticed with the F1 is that the rearend wants to pass the front while trailbraking, gotta tune it out or be very careful on the brakes entering corners.
