In a battle of pace up the FOS Hillclimb, what would the smart money be on? A multi-million pound ultimate version, of the ultimate version, of McLaren’s latest hypercar? Or a be-winged fire-spitting 800bhp hillclimb Impreza? Good arguments could be made for both.

Video: McLaren P1 LM vs Gobstopper II FOS showdown
On the one hand, the McLaren P1 LM is, well, a P1 LM. A carbon-clad, 1,000bhp, ultimate expression of what the combined efforts of McLaren and Lanzante can achieve in a performance car. But it’s roadworthy. Gobstopper II is a world away from the Impreza road car that it now only vaguely resembles. A point and squirt sprint is home turf for the rabid Impreza, too. Not to mention that it took the fastest time at FOS the year before. In the end, Gobstopper won out... just. Compare their runs and devide which was more impressive in the video above.
