* McLAREN built 107 F1 road cars, and 28 F1 GTR dedicated race cars.
* British racing driver, Ray Bellm competed at the 24-Hours of Le Mans nine times.
* Bellm drove the McLAREN F1 GTR there three times.
* Bellm has owned six F1s.
* In the article, Bellm commented that:
- the F1 lacked driver aids of any kind ( page 76)
- the F1 GTR offered ' no real downforce' (page 78
- the F1 GTR ' It's satisfyingly demanding if you know what you're doing. Frighteningly demanding if you don't.' ( page 78)
- the first GTRs had problems............. The car porpoised at speed and tracked a bit............. People don't realize this, but at Le Mans in ' 95, the car... actually had lift at speed. It was the most frightening car to drive in the wet, no grip. Look at pictures, when XP5 did its high-speed run. Look how high it is off the ground! ( page 83).

Huh? All your quotes are about the GTR race cars, not the road cars which were the subject of the discussion!
This is the sort of misquoting you do so often - I am not sure if you do it deliberately or just through fuzzy thinking.
