About the McLaren 720 S running at COTA; nothing about the 2020 ME.

That is a professional race car driver not even using the paddles. Pobst in the 488 and ZL1, same - same. Much to learn from other cars, I think! I know GM looks.
Guys here are holding on to the M7 in the ZR1!
Actually, I was looking what the McLaren guys were saying last night. Upgraded turbos in the 720s though!

I don't think we are looking at the same clip. Between the title, the clip, and the post I haven't got a clue as to what you are trying to say.

And that McLaren wasn't downshifting itself.

And you can tell if he downshifted? Whether you can or not he didn't have to.

A bigger power turbo looks to be only an automatic in the ME. Getting the RPMs down too far in too high a gear isn't an acceptable option!
