McLaren Supercars Road Trip Through Canada

A group of McLaren owners took their cars through some stunning roads in Canada and visited Jacques Villeneuve’s race circuit.

Canada has a lot of open ground and long, curvy roads are the supercar’s natural habitat. British Columbia, in particular, has some of the finest roads mixed with spectacular views in the world. The fact British Columbia is also home to Jaques Villeneuve’s racetrack is the maple syrup on the pancake. This video from McLaren Automotive  gives us a glimpse into what that all looks like.

As places to put your supercar to the test go, this track must rate as one of the best. It was put together by both Villeneuve and Trevor Seibert using a golfing country club business model to operate. The 4.83-kilometer blend of 16 corners is designed to both forgive amateurs and challenge professionals.

Area 27’s track is also designed to flow and give drivers a beautiful view from behind the wheel. This is definitely a track that isn’t just for those that want to race the clock but still drive fast.

It’s great to know these 16 Mclarens aren’t just sitting in garages waiting for their values to increase. It’s even more satisfying to see them being driven as they should be.

His obsession with cars started young and has left him stranded miles off-road in Land Rovers, being lost far from home in hot hatches, going sideways in rallycross cars, being propelled forward in supercars and, more sensibly, standing in fields staring at classic cars. His first job was as a mechanic and then trained as a driving instructor before going into media production.

The automotive itch never left though, and he realized writing about cars is his true calling. However, that doesn’t stop him from also hosting the Both Hand Drive podcast.
