Race car driver Gary Sheehan typically races modern sedans like the Subaru WRX STi, so he jumped at the invitation to drive the ex-Jo Bonnier McLaren M6B Can-Am vintage racer at Infineon Raceway.<\/p>\n
In Gary’s first outing in the brutal 600hp, 1600lb McLaren, owner Bob Lee let SPEEDtv.com and Marshall Pruett mount their cameras on the M6B to produce four unique and incredible views.<\/p>\n
The first camera angle is over the driver’s left shoulder. This angle gives the viewer a good look at the cockpit and the effort that goes into driving the McLaren.<\/p>\n
The second camera angle is rear-facing shot of the driver and car. This angle produces a very good look at Sheehan fighting with the McLaren.<\/p>\n
The third camera angle is forward-facing from the same front left fender as the second shot \u2013 pure speed.<\/p>\n
The final camera angle is behind the driver and engine \u2013 we would guess that a camera was mounted on the rear wing. This angle produces some amazing sights, most notably seeing the throttle arm blipping on downshifts or the slow progression to full throttle. It’s a really interesting angle.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the very loud 7:14 minute video.<\/p>\n
