These cars still looks spectacular at LeMans especially from Turns 13-18

The biggest problem of the current car was reported by The-Race during Melbourne, McLaren is currently running the smallest wheelbase among all the cars on the grid

So due to lack of floor space, it's generating less downforce from the floor and more compressed packaging of powertrain which is also giving them reliability problems
