Dick Glover, Technical Director at McLaren Automotive, enjoyed 12 years at McLaren Racing where, among his many achievements, he designed the Formula 1 simulator that has also been used in the 12C development programme. “We’re intensely proud of the 12C,” said Dick. “The really exciting challenge for us was that to set new performance benchmarks, we had to introduce innovative new technologies. In that respect, we have worked like a Formula 1 team where you are constantly trying to improve performance, not against fixed parameters, but to win against competitors who are also constantly improving.
"The 12C is a huge technical accomplishment, but also a car filled with the passion and dedication that comes with working at McLaren."
