Mclaren MCL60 - 2023 Formula One
It's the start of the year, and Formula One teams have begun their 2024 reveals.
Shown here is the 2023 Mclaren MCL60 Formula One Racer.
Just in time too, for instagram #mocaroundgang #mocaround75 to the build theme #openwheeler
For 2023 Formula One racers are continuing with similar regulation to the past couple of years. This includes cars with quite a large footprint from their long wheelbases and wide tracks.
The car was originally referred to by McLaren and the press as the MCL37, a continuation of the numbering scheme that began in 1981 with the McLaren MP4/1 (although the MP4 prefix was replaced by MCL in 2017 following the departure of Ron Dennis from the team). However, McLaren announced that the car would be named the MCL60 to commemorate 60 years since Bruce McLaren founded the team in 1963.
The MCL60 is powered by the Mercedes-AMG 1,600cc V6, with a single turbochager, supplemented by an Electric Hybrid drive and battery.
The Mclaren MCL60 bodywork livery is an evolution of the previous years black, orange and cyan, with primary sponsors, Velo and Google..
The Mclaren MCL60 is featured in the 2024 Lego lineup in Lego Speedchampions form, nr 76919 - a somewhat odd choice, given that the 2023 MCL60 scored no wins, finishing a distant 4th in the Constructors Championship.
Hopefully one of many entries for this month's mocaround challenge, hosted by @paulielego and finishing up on March 16th.
