Donk rocks up in the McLaren F1 LM at Donnington Park GP in Automobilista 2. Is the car as great as we all hope?
Such an iconic car that is known throughout the motoring world recently landed in Automobilista 2 and our man Donk puts it to the test. As we all know the majority of sim racers have never driven most real world race cars so judgement is an opinion from a racing game genre.
Donk tells us his exact thoughts of what he thinks of the car and is it another worthy contender to the all time greats in sim racing?.
