RACER VIDEO: Rick Knoop 1972 McLaren M8F Visor Cam

Take an amazing ride with former IMSA GTP racer Rick Knoop as he pushes his brutal 8-liter V8-powered 1972 McLaren M8F Can-Am car during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.

With more than 800hp under his right foot and not much downforce, Knoop is forced to respect the beast in the corners – big wheelspin arrives as soon as he gets aggressive with the thunderous engine mounted just over his shoulders..
