I own a MAX + PRO McLaren P1 and I use it for specific TLE events.

However, I don't like it. It was very hard to handle the car on the sloped dirt track of Great Wall, for example.

Even though the handling stat reads over 1.300 Gs, that doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Do you know what 1.300 Gs even means? Neither do I. Over the past few months, it's become obvious to me that the actual car stats you see don't tell you that much. Around a quarter of the cars in this game have fake speed, the nitro efficiency is not shown, the drifting radius is not shown, and the acceleration stats are wrong, even with or without nitro. The handling stat is also irrelevant; look at the Renault CLIO and the Volkswagen Beetle. The CLIO is 28 ranks lower and 10 km/h slower, with slightly better handling. However, does that handling really make a difference? No. The Beetle is basically a straight upgrade. I doubt that you can actually "feel" the increase in handling whenever you upgrade the handling of a car. That is why most people upgrade handling last and speed first. Handling is the least important stat to upgrade since the improvement is tiny.

Anyway, the McLaren P1's handling stat is false. It might say 1.300 Gs, but that doesn't automatically mean it has good handling. It's handling is horrible; if you try using nitro and turning at the same time, you will not succeed. It will travel in a straight line, and it might tilt a little bit, but not much. When you start to drift, it has a delay.

I like the McLaren 12C Spider a lot better. It's drifting is one of the most comfortable in the entire game, in my opinion. Also, its handling seems to be slightly better.
