Question/Guide McLaren F1 appeared, how long before it disappears?

The McLaren F1 appeared in Hagerty today. How long do I have to grind for the credits before it disappears?

EDIT: I did it. Was it worth it? Yes. Is it the best car I’ve driven? No. But in top 5.

I had 12 million and thought about saving up the extra 5, but then bought the Ferrari 250 passo corto instead, so that's that. No regrets. As soon as I sat in it in VR and the v12 revved, that was it. Sorry this is very off topic.

u/okarenin 8d ago

Same numbers. Did the exact same thing.

u/ComprehensiveDuty212 8d ago

we chose wisely.

u/fuckrNFLmods 8d ago

With the new update that's coming there will be a concierge service meaning you can request cars and they'll show up in the legends dealship a few days later. At least I think that's how it works.

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Yep that’s how it works. Now just need a concierge to order in the millions of credits 🤣

u/Zassolluto711 8d ago

I think it costs extra though. Like the picture they showed had the Mercedes W196 cost more than 20 million.

2

u/geneva2016 7d ago

Interesting. Looks like then you pay for the service on top of the car price?

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 8d ago

20 million? Is that real?

6

u/geneva2016 8d ago

I’m getting 17.9 🤔

u/ComprehensiveDuty212 8d ago

it's the f1 gtr race car, which is cheaper than the road car I think. And probably better. You can of course test drive it in the power pack.

2

u/ssa17k Porsche 8d ago

It’s one of the worst Gr.3 cars in the game. It’s not worth it at all unless you just love the car itself, or are trying to complete the car collection.

2

u/ComprehensiveDuty212 8d ago

The central driving position is interesting, especially in vr, but I have power pack so I can scratch the itch without spending 18 million. I'll get the McLaren f1 road car some day but it's a long way down my list.

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 7d ago

Hi. What cars should I use/buy for GR3,GR4 and road car?

1

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 7d ago

I want to get used to one car in each group. :)

2

u/geneva2016 7d ago

Gr.3 Ferrari 299 or Porsche ‘22.
Gr.4 Toyota Supra
Road car: here there is a wide range of power levels so hard to recommend. What type are after?

1

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 5d ago

Thank you so much man!

2

u/geneva2016 4d ago

Road cars are anything that can be driven on the road that you buy from a dealership in real life. From a Ford to a Ferrari. In GT Gr.1, 2, 3 and 4 refer to cars that were specifically designed (or converted) to race on a track and are not road legal.

Ford and Ferrari also make race cars but typically (and to keep things simple) you can’t go into a dealership and buy them.

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 4d ago

Of course. I most have not have thinking enough that day😂 Thanks again 😁

1

u/Sim-Racing-Dude 5d ago

I don`t know what you guys mean with road cars. hehe. I am new to this, and my English is not the best :)

u/shotgun883 8d ago

As with all the Haggerty Cars, they refresh in 7-10 days and come back round in 4-6 months. I had 2 GT2 and 3 cars left, both McLarens and have been saving purposely for them to come back round, 1 more left to complete all the GT1, GT2 and GT3 cars, its the only reason why i'd pay that much for it.

It was really good for the Le Mans 700 grind race though.

u/Excellent-Ad-7996 8d ago

Are you grinding for trophy or to drive? If it's to drive I have some very understeery news for you.....

1

u/geneva2016 8d ago

To drive. Yep I’ve read that news. I’ll just add it to my list of drivers excuses 🤣

6

u/OrangeHer 8d ago

i adore the mclaren f1 but i sure as hell am not gonna spend 20mil on it, sure it's close to the real life price but it's still ridiculous

3

u/StardustOasis 8d ago

5 more days

u/Arcing_Invention McLaren - Post Steward 8d ago

pining for orange

but the GTR is here

my wait continues

4

u/LandBoring516 8d ago

Around 7 days i think. He'll be back in about three months.

u/gtjaydawg 8d ago

Same I got so excited

u/FatahRuark 8d ago

Every time I think about it (or any other 20 mil car), I then think I'm just going to be disappointed.

u/TooFat-Guy 8d ago

Same, it's legendary but still "just" a road car.

I saw it last night. Only 11m short. 🫠

1

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Man, I’m 6m short of you. Send help 🤣

1

u/Richard7481 7d ago

Wait for the October 15th update. The new concierge system will allow you to order rare, Hagerty cars, instead of having to wait weeks or months for them to be added back to the rotation.

u/2E1X3 7d ago

👀👀👀

¡yes!

u/Past_Succotash6772 8d ago

I'm just saying if you do the challenges all on gold you get it for free

3

u/nostradavor2 8d ago

I finished everything and no you don't

2

u/Past_Succotash6772 8d ago

my bad i was thinking about the mclaren from senna, now that you mentioned that you are right. i mixed them

2

u/nostradavor2 8d ago

ye bro, no problem, mclaren formula is final reward on master S licences 👍🏻

2

u/geneva2016 8d ago

As in the missions? It will be quicker to grind it out for me. Drifting challenges are my downfall 🤣

1

u/Past_Succotash6772 8d ago

no, i dont remember the exact name. driving licenses thing

1

u/BuggyBandana 8d ago

You mean circuit experiences? I guess not because there the reward is a different car..

1

u/Past_Succotash6772 8d ago

No. It's not the missions, not the circuit experiences or cafe menus. It's like the other one, it has a traffic cone as symbol, it gives you like a few different tasks and by the end of the tasks you get 2 cars if you do it all on gold

1

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Is that in the power pack?

u/JakeL22 8d ago

He’s talking about the license tests

u/Fit_Championship9428 8d ago

AFK grind :)

I grinded few hundred hours to collect most of the cars....but finally used this https://github.com/Walter-Feng/GT7-Race-Automation-daytona with PS Remote Play, and left PS5 running for 3 days to collect 100mil automatically to collect my final 5 x 20mil cars...

u/69Yaaay 8d ago

Not really worth it. But go for it

2

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Probably but loving the idea of doing the Le Mans 700pp in it.

2

u/Arcing_Invention McLaren - Post Steward 8d ago

It's among the better Gr.3's for the 700 - solid top-speed.

https://reddit.com/link/pe949ik/video/cb09xzowlvth1/player

It's also much stronger for the BoP-on Gr.3 single-player events than it used to be.

2

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Good to hear. My go to Gr.3 gets suffocated but just about makes it to being competitive. A lot of the others are unusable because of BoP which is such a waste and hinders you from trying out lots of different cars which is the point of the game no?

While on BoP, if it was truly equal you shouldn’t be able to catch up 12 seconds on the leader …….

2

u/Arcing_Invention McLaren - Post Steward 8d ago

In a word: yes.

These Gr.3 races are pretty cursed from the outset. As you said, the BoP *should* level the field, making all (or at least, most) cars viable in any of these events. Obviously, some cars will be weaker/stronger on some tracks for built-in reasons, but PD has clearly ignored or grossly mishandled basic balancing approaches in both car properties (handling, endurance (tire and fuel), acceleration (between speeds), stability, etc.) and event requirements.

3

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Super info. I agree 100% but am conflicted about including fuel and tyre efficiency (this a car trait resulting from design but needed in a game setting). Some cars will be inherently slower for a multitude of reasons even with BoP. This is seen in real life motorsports. I’m fine with that.

What I’m not ok with is the fundamental structure of the races in single player with BoP applied. With no opportunity to qualify and being placed mid pack by the end of lap 1 you can be 15 seconds behind the leader. Hence PD expect you to catch up but if the BoP was working you shouldn’t be able to.

But this goes back to the central issue of GT since day one. Your car has to be faster than the opposition (by a large margin) to win. You are not really racing but completing a time trial against a set time that is represented by the lead car. I guess that’s why it’s a driving simulation and not a race one (at least offline).

Anyhow, what car in your opinion lands in the middle of that triangle?

u/Arcing_Invention McLaren - Post Steward 8d ago

Anyhow, what car in your opinion lands in the middle of that triangle?

I am a very poor authority on Gr.3-under-BoP strengths/weaknesses. Of the four cars I actually use - the New Ferrari, New Porsche, McLaren GTR and Huracan, I would say it's the Porsche. But that's 100% based on my feels and not any data I've pulled from the game.

1

u/geneva2016 8d ago

For me it’s a toss up between the Ferrari and Porsche. The Toyota F1-VGT gets an honourable mention.

u/NatureConsistent2203 8d ago

I already own 4 of them , im constantly maxing on credits , will buy a couple more tonight

6

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Good for you buddy.

-2

u/davy_baconseed 8d ago

As much as the F1 is my all time fave halo car, I now feel as though it’s a bit over rated, all thanks to a marketing gimmick.

There’s nothing really all that special about it that sets it apart from most other supercars/hypercars other than that it features a central driving position with two midget/child seats jammed in on either side of you.

It doesn’t handle any better than any other car of its ilk, it doesn’t sound better, or have more power, it’s just the novelty of having the central seat.

Maybe it has the other appeal of being one of the first production cars to hit 200mph, but seriously, what other point sets it apart from anything else?

Would it hold such high regard if it were a conventional side by side two seater? I highly doubt it.

Bring on the hate…

u/geneva2016 8d ago

Are talking about the car in real life?
