Amateur racer and wealthy car enthusiast François Perrodo has a collection of amazing vehicles for his weekend joy rides. However, during one outing, he made a crucial mistake that any regular driver would shudder at: he mistakenly filled his multi-million-dollar McLaren F1 GTR with diesel instead of gasoline.

The No. 61 Lark-McLaren was a key contender in the 1996 GT500 series, which would later evolve into Super GT, with John Nielsen and David Brabham taking the wheel. This car played a significant role in securing every pole position that season and eventually clinching the intense championship against its sister car, No. 60. Such a remarkable vehicle undoubtedly deserves utmost respect and, at the very least, the correct fuel.
