Patrick BoyleHOST
One of them appears to have done some rapping, which is why I covered the story.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The influencers had ripped jeans, tattoos, McLaren cars, those watches that online scammers always wear, and contrasting facial hair.
Patrick BoyleHOST
They had a YouTube channel called The Goblin Gang, which claimed to show you what it's like to be a multi-millionaire day trader, and a podcast called Pennies Going In Raw, where I imagine they discussed DCF models and stock valuation methods.
Patrick BoyleHOST
I haven't actually listened to it, not really interested in that stuff.
Steve CropleyHOST
She has had a career in other important places like Aston Martin, JLRN.
Steve CropleyHOST
McLaren started off specializing in color trim as as many females do, but has moved on to the, you know, the old business of configuring the car and this these half a dozen Porsche, they're turbos, I think, and they're four-litre turbos with, you know, with 850 or something.
Steve CropleyHOST
And they're just done to commemorate the kind of life and career of Martin, who's, you know, as we know him a bit, and he is one person who just doesn't need his ego stroked at all, does he? He's just an extremely nice bloke.
Steve CropleyHOST
There's a...
32 MINS LATER
Matt PriorHOST
Yeah,
Steve CropleyHOST
it was a book that just arrived from Porter Press, which is a well-known publisher of quite premium motoring books.
Steve CropleyHOST
And this one was called something like, I've got to remember, but it's the book of the McLaren F1.
Steve CropleyHOST
And I thought, good God, here we are in
speaker_1HOST
Okay.
speaker_1HOST
So we're pulling up a 340K SLR McLaren, and I'm waiting for it to load.
speaker_1HOST
So it says 26,000 miles.
speaker_1HOST
It's a 2006 McLaren.
speaker_1HOST
Uh, silver, um, obviously a clean title.
speaker_1HOST
Let's see.
HollandGUEST
I think any dealer can order that adapter.
HollandGUEST
I
TwitchHOST
All right.
TwitchHOST
A couple of months ago, a car, I believe it was a McLaren, which is like a supercar, was involved in a fatal car crash in California.
TwitchHOST
OK, involved in a fatal car crash.
TwitchHOST
It was wrecked and they towed it to a tow yard to be, you know, because, you know, I guess it's evidence until the case is settled, whatever.
Tom RoachGUEST
me.
Tom RoachGUEST
They were opening a McLaren store in Orlando.
Tom RoachGUEST
And I had been part of Miller when we were one of the original nine McLaren dealers that came into the country in 2012.
Tom RoachGUEST
So
Ali HemyariHOST
it was just good timing.
Tom RoachGUEST
It wasn't uncommon.
Tom RoachGUEST
But this fellow I worked for, because he was in the supply chain with his defense business, he recognized that there were going to be a shortage of inventory.
Tom RoachGUEST
And McLaren, we were just opening, and he said to me, Tom, what do you think about buying only inventory at the port in Baltimore? And I said, I have to tell you, I know you're smart and successful, and I know you can afford to do it, but that would be a really, really risky move, almost insane.
Spike FerestenHOST
Leiters, yeah.
Matt FarahGUEST
When he was in his interim stint at McLaren.
Spike FerestenHOST
Oh, really?
Matt FarahGUEST
It was when I was there with them for Car Week.
Jay LenoGUEST
Teachers can't live in the town they're teaching.
Jay LenoGUEST
But because of their effective manufacturing, they build a supercar like the ZR1X for what, a tenth of the price of a Ferrari or a McLaren or any- I mean, for less than the sales tax in California on one of those cars.
Spike FerestenHOST
[laughs]
Jay LenoGUEST
No, no, but I mean, that's what I find generally amazing.
Jay LenoGUEST
Now, the one thing he's not allowed to tell you, but I can-
Lukas CzingerGUEST
[laughs]
Jay LenoGUEST
... is the fact that if you look at the suspension on Ferrari, McLaren, they do it.
Jay LenoGUEST
They do it.
Michael LeitersGUEST
Like a camera.
Matt MillerHOST
Let me ask about, you know, some other media have said because you spent time at Ferrari as CTO before you went on to run McLaren and now have been brought back to run Porsche, that you were adopting a Ferrari-like model.
Matt MillerHOST
They have their V8s that are lower priced, although still very expensive.
Matt MillerHOST
And then they have their V12s, which is sort of the upper level.
7 MINS LATER
Matt MillerHOST
You spent 13 years there before.
Michael LeitersGUEST
Yes.
Matt MillerHOST
You went off to Ferrari, McLaren, come back.
Matt MillerHOST
What's different about this company that in a lot of ways has stayed the same, um, you know, since its inception? What's different in your experience when you went back to Porsche?
Jonny PalmerHOST
Obviously, Le Mans itself was different because there were two hyperpole sessions to get into, a bigger grid of GT cars, and then it was 15 and then eventually 10 into hyperpole two.
Jonny PalmerHOST
But Heriot's been the man to do the business in car 21. let's see how the sister car gets on at AF Corsa and the responsibility of getting that car in will be Thomas Floor in the 54 but David A. Regan certainly been rapid through the course of this weekend as well I mean you spotted a pattern certainly in free practice one where it seemed to favor the mid-engine car so Ferrari Corvette McLaren have been strong as well but then free practice two was more about perhaps an Aston looking strong and the Mercedes as well the AMG's appear not to be carrying too much weight whereas the Aston you'd mentioned earlier on today the 27 car particularly did you say 46 42
Peter MacKayHOST
42 James mentioned yeah that is quite a quite and that of course is that specific car due to its recent success
Jonny PalmerHOST
yeah true so that's not the balance of performance weight they all have uh they're still bopped together and the document is no longer made public but in order to try and balance the base weights as much as possible or balance the performance around this lap and around other laps that we go to as well so GT cars clearly designed in very different ways find their lap time in lots of different areas but yes if a trio is then starting to stretch their legs a little bit in the championship then the officials have seen their responsibility to try and peg them back a bit and that's been the way of things for some time let's get some team radio at Vista A of course
Jonny PalmerHOST
As PMAC made the point, the Ferraris are neatly placed where their garages are at pit lane exit.
Jonny PalmerHOST
So 21 out onto track first of all.
Jonny PalmerHOST
One of the McLarens gets going as well, car 10.
Jonny PalmerHOST
There are some hanging back, I think, to avoid the crowd that has unleashed itself then into turns three and four from pit lane and some shuffling of the order required as well as some cars ease back, others want to get the road position.
Brandon JulienHOST
Authorities say the actor and rapper was ticketed for theft of services yesterday when he drove through an easy pass lane leading to the span connecting New York and New Jersey.
Brandon JulienHOST
The 60-year-old, whose real name is Tracy Morrow, was driving a new McLaren sports car and was also ticketed for not having license plates and registration.
Brandon JulienHOST
Ice-T reportedly forgot his electronic toll transporter and has them for his other vehicles.
Brandon JulienHOST
He tweeted, quote, cops went a little extra.
