McLaren GT

Have you ever wanted to properly test one McLaren against another? We thought it might be fun to pit the new McLaren GT against the McLaren 720S Coupe. So we schlepped up to Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedford to give it a go.

Millbrook is an iconic test track for the world’s leading automotive manufacturers with an unparalleled series of on-road and off-road circuits designed to test cars in all possible real-world road conditions.

We took the marvellous McLaren GT on a luxury adventure tour of the South of England including West Wittering Beach, Hayling Island and Somerset before finally racing against two Parajets on a mile-long private road.

The high point was definitely the two Parajet pilots weaving around the car as we cruised together past sunlit fields full of summer flowers.

We also did some more jet boarding on a beautiful lake with Mako Jetboards. Well, why not. Fly or surf was the aim of the adventure tour and we were lucky enough to do both.
