There used to be a museum of F1 cars at Donnington circuit in England but sadly they had to close because they couldn't afford the upkeep. The cars were either sold or returned to their private owners. Such a shame, especially as they closed before I realised it was even there!
There’s no actual logic to that as the reason for the abandoned super cars is due to Saudi’s 0% interest loans that people use to buy super cars are about to fault on the loan so dump the car and leave the country
There’s a Jaguar R4 in the basement of HSBC’s London office. Was on display for a few years after the team were sold. The Lotus store in London also left a Lotus 59 (f2 car although did compete in the F1 race at the Nurburgring) in the window when it closed. I think this eventually ended up just down Regent St. in the Barbour shop. Seems too much of a coincidence if it’s another one.
As sad as it can be to see as fans, the thing to remember is that racecars are largely just tools used to try to win a competition. F1 is a little different because the cars tend to change every year, so it's harder (maybe impossible because of rules?) to reuse parts, but many of the famous racecars over the years in other classes are often crashed, rebuilt, updated, and otherwise constantly changed to try to keep them competitive until they just aren't useful anymore. Sure F1 cars are multi-million dollar objects, but they also build multiple copies of them and they regularly get crashed and totally written off. It's just the nature of racing. They also don't necessarily know if a rookie driver is going to hit it big 5 years down the road, so any car they might have been driving early in their career is just taking up space while the team is building the latest and greatest, so it's kind of understandable that racecars often get left somewhere to collect dust or just get chopped up and used for parts/testing. It seems wild to a fan, but you have to think of it from the team's perspective.
2:17 If I remember correctly, this MP4/6 was a show car donated to / built by Hercules Aerospace in Utah. The company dealt in carbon fibre and were instrumental in the development and production of the singular carbon monocoques which McLaren pioneered starting with the MP4/1. It was mostly plywood and engine-less but I believe parts such as the driver's cockpit and glass-fibre body panels were real. Either way it was stored for a while in the company foyer before being moved into a warehouse / manufacturing facility which is why it looks so dusty. Hercules went out of business and a new company bought the premises. The new owners knew what they had on their hands and last I saw it had been moved to their offices in Duxford, England, and is looking much better. Sad to see it move since it was much more of a rarity in the US than here but still good to see people are willing to care for these cars.
The "Toyota" looks too old to be an authentic Toyota F1 car. I want to say it's an F3000 of some sort. I can tell the one at 2:35 is something from the early 90s because of the way the sidepods taper down to the boxy bodywork at the rear. It has massive bulges around the engine that I can't identify off the top of my head, but somebody knows.
Hi im a person who lives in Sharjah uae the first f1 car in the thumbnail was in Sharjah it isn’t abounded the owner can’t drive it the engine isn’t working and by 2022 it’s still there 🤷♂️ (it’s not in dubai)
I don't get why Mclaren decide the crush their multimillion F1 car, why not store it in their factory instead if they are afraid of someone taking their interactional properties, Mclaren are out of touch, the same goes to anyone who crushes expensive race cars, so yeah
Oh they're replicas? Great to know. I was almost raging, if these were real, they'd belong in a museum. Anyway, these could be used to make the money to employ the people to keep it good. Take a picture in an f1 car, 10€. So yea, replicas have no value, but yea, weird to see so expensive work put outside without tarps.
Cars were built by Team Les Galapait, they are a team of young engineers who build them to encourage young race drivers etc. Google it its quite interesting what they do. Cars looked so sexy back then, but we're completely ferril wild animals, and we're very unsafe compared to today's Cars.
There is a video on youtube of this McLaren being scrapped. The car does not look real. It's possible that McLaren gave the order. But only because they had no more use for a 2002 show car. No F1 team would seriously let a private company scrap one of their real cars. Just enter "KIESOW vs. Formula 1 (F1) - Car crashing" in youtube.
These a re mostlikely what they call promotional cars(basically just the shells), which are replicas with no engines that you can find at the malls, airports
The scrapped Mclaren on a junkyard was probably just a show car, everybody knows Mclaren keeps all their cars on their warehouse and the whole "So they cant steal the technology" reason is just bs since the car was outdated. Prob the junkyard just wanted to get some attention.

That's so sad! I am so glad I managed to go when I did
I'm guessing somewhere in the Middle East since they have a place where there are tons of supercars that were abandoned.
They’re all over the world!
And political prisoners, LGBTQ people, Jews, blacks, non-Muslims and whomever else the Kings and Sheiks deem threatening to their power.
There's a donut media video about all the cars abandoned in the uae's

@@MadeByPerspective so you're telling me there is a chance
There’s no actual logic to that as the reason for the abandoned super cars is due to Saudi’s 0% interest loans that people use to buy super cars are about to fault on the loan so dump the car and leave the country
It's sad to see. Thankfully people are actually putting old cars together and fix them.
Glad I could help haha!
Matt!
Ayy

Imagine getting one of those cars and turning into a full immersion personal simulator
That 02 McLaren being scrapped... 😢😭😭. Its like someone ripping the mona lisa infront of your face
Showcar...
Man, I would love to have any of cars even though they're not real F1 cars, it would still be pretty cool.
The Marlboro - Mclaren and the JPS - Lotus, 2 of the most iconic cars of all time.
And that’s another video wrapped up never gets old
ohhh. having one of those motor bike powered F1 imitations would be fun
Those cars on the trailer (and the Benetton) are fiberglass and plywood sponsor cars.

Looks like the Ligier Mugen Honda before Prost took over.
The guy who bought those cars in france has his youtube channel where he uploads videos of the restoring process. The name is fred cars 38
Hi im a person who lives in Sharjah uae the first f1 car in the thumbnail was in Sharjah it isn’t abounded the owner can’t drive it the engine isn’t working and by 2022 it’s still there 🤷♂️ (it’s not in dubai)
A lot of these are prop cars used in movies
The guy rebuilding the caterham he’s from up north in the UK met and bought some things of him before
Fit some of these abandoned cars with an F4 engine and running gear and you’re laughing.
I don't get why Mclaren decide the crush their multimillion F1 car, why not store it in their factory instead if they are afraid of someone taking their interactional properties, Mclaren are out of touch, the same goes to anyone who crushes expensive race cars, so yeah
It’s not a real one

You do cool vids. Creative
We need to get all of these to Dale JR.'s car graveyard. Go look it up
Is it legal to take one home if its abandoned maybe not but people should save them

A bike repair shop has hakinens McLaren in London, inside the shop out back, I think he planned to hang it on the wall.
Wow a guy talking about hes goggle search results

You can see a real abandoned f1 car by searching f1 jordan of rubens barrichello abandoned
Hi
Yo!
Ine of the rare videos of yours that the thumbnail just...isn’t look that good
elon musk boutta go buy an old minardi, modify it, and make an f1 team, whilst sending it to space in the summer break
Would he need to talk to AlphaTauri tho, considering Minardi got sold off to Red Bull and got rebranded to STR and then AT?
bozo musk getting involved in f1 politics would be a nightmare, he's got too much ego issues already
This video demands a trigger warning 😥
These are replicas! Everybody into the f1 world nows this.
Hello there
Hello!
you need to abandon that hat !!! but love the videos keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are just REPLICAs get over it
New vid. Hello
Welcome back!
Photoshop
800th like 😊
The scrapped Mclaren on a junkyard was probably just a show car, everybody knows Mclaren keeps all their cars on their warehouse and the whole "So they cant steal the technology" reason is just bs since the car was outdated. Prob the junkyard just wanted to get some attention.
the fonts aren't right the colors are way off no replicas more like chinese knock offs. lets just assume you're new to this
Hi
