McLaren gearing up to debut new Honda engine

Honda’s new V6 turbo hybrid Formula One engine is scheduled to make its track debut at the Silverstone Circuit today.

The car will be driven by British tester, Oliver Turvey, and is only allowed to do 100km under testing restrictions with demonstration tyres in what is effectively referred to as a ‘shakedown’, to ensure everything works.

McLaren, who have yet to confirm their drivers for 2015, are expected to test the car properly for the first time in Abu Dhabi, after next week’s season-ending race.
