Calling all cynics who fear that legendary four-wheel unobtanium like the McLaren F1 will be locked in museums and climate-controlled underground garages for evermore. This is your chance to see and hear a bona fide race-winning F1 doing the business. The catch is that you need to be near to or preferably at the Sonoma Raceway in California this weekend, for the Sonoma Speed Festival. If you want to see F1 chassis no.027R in action, best get yourself Stateside stat. Excitedly, the organisers of the event tell us "this was the first GTR Longtail to win a race, claiming victory at the 1997 British GT Championship race at Silverstone before strong showings at Circuit de Spa-Francochamps and the N rburgring later that year.
