t’s been a long time coming. Finally, however, the world is going to be able to check out the design prowess of Tiger Woods when his first completed golf course Iopens at Diamante, a very private development in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, later this year. While Woods’ previous course-design projects were stalled by the challenging economy of the past few years, El Cardonal is on track to be the first of five courses from Tiger Woods Design to come to fruition. Woods has taken a very, very hands-on approach with El Cardonal, visiting Diamante at least a half-dozen times. Reports are that he loves the place so much he now has a home there.
According to those familiar with Woods’ design philosophy, the emphasis of this course is on strategy, options and playability across the board. In other words, there will be several options available to navigate each hole, and players of different abilities will have to make similar strategic decisions, regardless of which of the multiple tees they are playing from. “I set up the golf strategy to make golfers think and make choices,” Woods says of his design. “Regardless of your handicap, there are going to be different ways to play every hole. Angles of approach are going to be very important and will dictate the type of shots you should consider. I love this kind of golf.” Indeed. Word is that El Cardonal is reminiscent of the old-style California golf courses that Woods grew up playing and for which he has great fondness. Those courses tend to use bunkers and other hazards to force players to make a decision rather than as a deterrent. Natural, irregular contours on the wide fairways, as well as high- faced greenside bunkers will help enhance the course’s old- style look and feel. When El Cardonal opens, it will be Diamante’s second golf course. Already in existence is the Dunes Course, which
Desert Golf &tennis • April MAy 2014 13 on Cover
lies closer to the ocean and was designed by Davis Love III in a classic Scottish links style. Golf Digest recognized The Dunes Course as the No. 1 course in Mexico and Golf Magazine rated it among the top 100 golf courses in the world. The end result is that Diamante will offer two very different golf experiences, though both will be private, available only to members or those staying at the property. Opened in 2009, Diamante is a luxury real estate development and master-planned community on 1,500 acres located six miles

Clive Clark and Juli Inkster pro's View
t’s not every day that one gets the chance to play with two world-class golfers, but I was privileged recently to do just Ithat. First, I played a round with Harris English at Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta, Calif. Since the Humana Challenge event in January, Harris had stayed on in the Coachella Valley to work on his game. His game is extremely impressive, to say the least. On the day we played, he was ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings. He is a very likeable young man and has all the ingredients needed to take to take him to the top. During the ten years I played professional golf, I was fortunate to play a number of times with The Big Three: Nicklaus, Palmer and Player. Harris is getting near to that sort of standard so don’t be surprised if he wins some majors over the next few years. Although he has been a professional for only a couple of years, Harris has a mature outlook and believes in pacing himself as he faces the rigorous PGA Tour. While picking his favorite courses, his tendency is to play three events in a row and then take a week off. What is so good about his game? Pretty much everything. He exhibits what I call “smooth power.” He is young at 24, and his height, about 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a factor in his game. He has long arms and his arc is enormous. He is very long without any apparent effort—it’s just smooth power. Harris hits the ball solid and high. The “hang time” is immense, so that his tee shot and iron shots fall from a great height and marginally to the right. What’s wrong with playing with a Clive Clark and Harris English fade? Not much; ask Hogan or Trevino! Like great players, he has terrific control over the shape of his shots. In other words, don’t be Compared to Harris English, who is over 6 feet and one of the fooled by this gentle fade. When the pin is positioned hard left on the longer players on the PGA Tour, a top female player gives away some green, he has no qualms about hitting a draw. distance from the tee.

Harris showed some respect by three-putting a couple of cover 480 yards. In firm conditions she could definitely reach a 500- times on the slick, smooth greens found on this Arnold Palmer- yard par 5 in two. Harris, on the other hand, drives the ball designed golf course. Apart from that, his score of 66 from the tips consistently around the 300-yard mark, with a 3-wood range of (just over 7,000 yards) was immaculate. What shines through in a about 270 yards. In running conditions, even a 600-yard par 5 is fair player of this caliber is his length and ability to hit long and medium game for him in two shots.

She putts with an over-length putter, pleasure of playing golf with Juli Inkster at Tradition Golf Club and which she ‘glues’ to her left arm, almost to the elbow. “Perhaps this is also at the excellent Madison Club, both in La Quinta. Juli is one of the answer,” I thought. But I was wrong. This method, which is also the greatest players to ever set foot on the LPGA Tour. She had 31 used by Matt Kuchar, is clearly an acquired taste. My efforts to LPGA wins, seven of which were majors.

Alice Cooper and the winning team
any of the players, attendees and supporters of Alice Cooper’s Rock & Roll Golf Classic grew up listening to the Michigan shock rocker, and Mlikely took all sorts of heat from their parents about the hangings, guillotines, crazy make-up and other accouterments of the evolving rock and roll scene circa 1970. Those little boys and, yes, some girls who had the 1972 calendar insert from the Killer album tacked to their bedroom wall, and wailed “School’s Out” right through the summer of 1973, could hardly have imagined that over 40 years later, Cooper would still be relevant to the rock scene. Nor could they have predicted that Cooper would still tour regularly, playing before sold-out houses, or that he’d have attained a high level of mastery of the game of golf. Even less predictable would have been that they, his early fans, would become sustaining members of the rocker’s charitable activities. Alice Cooper’s nonprofit Solid Rock organization, founded in 1995 by Cooper and Chuck Savale, generates funds for Alice Cooper’s Rock Teen Center in Phoenix, where youth ages 12-20 become engaged in the arts via free music and Sheryl Cooper with the tournament models

dance lessons, occupational training programs and other arts-based classes. “There are lots of places where kids can go and just hang out,” says Cooper. “We’re essentially a free music and dance school, and I think that’s really what sets us apart. This is a place where kids can learn how to do new things. By helping kids develop a talent, and to help them create something from nothing, we’re really changing the way they think.” The center is the primary beneficiary of the singer’s annual golf tournament, which has raised hundreds of thousands of charitable dollars during its 17 years.

How guests utilize these amenities determines exactly how adventurous their personal journey is. “If a guest’s idea of entertainment is sitting by the pool with a cocktail, or doubling down at the blackjack tables, or seeing a world-class show such as John Legend, they can do that,” says Ciara Green, public relations manager for the resort. “We have a casino that rivals any casino in the world.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that it’s difficult to get to Cabo. McCallen says, “Los Cabos has regularly scheduled flights from all major U.S. gateways, with carriers that include Aeromexico, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Sun Country, United and US Airways. The region is also very safe, with good highways, busy downtowns and a very low crime rate.”
GOLF Punta Sur (vidantagolf.com ) The first golf course built in Los Cabos in 1987 is a family-friendly nine-hole layout conceived by Fonatur (Mexico’s government tourism agency) to broaden the region’s appeal. Punta Sur (“South Point”) is routed on gently rolling terrain, easy to walk and located within a resort development. 3,141 yards. $70 for nine holes.
Puerto Los Cabos (puertoloscabos.com ) One of the newest public courses in the region, Puerto Los Cabos, near San Jose del Cabo, will eventually become two championship layouts.

Tiger Woods’ first-ever golf course and a new Jack Nicklaus Signature Course are both scheduled to open this year (see more on pg. 12 and pg. 30, respectively). Cabo courses have been singled out by national U.S. golf publications, two on a “Top 100 in the World” list, along with four courses listed among Mexico’s top five. Among the top five tourist destinations in Mexico, Cabo is also a superb destination golf getaway. “It’s a golfer’s dream,” says Los Cabos Tourism Board’s golf coordinator, Brian McCallen. “Los Cabos stands as one of the most desirable foreign destinations for traveling U.S. golfers. Cabo remains a place to relax with a variety of water and outdoor activities on tap. “It took several decades for it to become the tourist destination it is today,” says McCallen. “Dating back to the early 1930s, [Cabo San Lucas] was a small fishing village with Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol abundant marine life, which put it on the map as a sport-fishing destination in the 1950s and 1960s.

he new signature Jack Nicklaus golf course, scheduled to open in late summer or early fall 2014, is just one of the coveted amenities available to residential owners in Copala at Quivira Los Cabos, at the tip of Baja TCalifornia. Spread across 24 acres within the master planned community of Quivira, Copala is designed to be intimate, distinctive and private, yet to reflect the great warmth and hospitality of the Mexican culture. Thoughtful planning went into Copala and into Quivira, the vision of Ernesto Coppel, a highly respected developer and the founder of Pueblo Bonito resorts. At Copala, there is a focus on quality and on a reverence for the natural beauty and preservation of the Baja landscape. Located on the 16th hole of the first Nicklaus golf course being built within Quivira, with views of both the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, Copala, which is a full-ownership development, offers much to those who want a private retreat in a strikingly sophisticated and safe community just a short flight from many U.S. cities.
The Copala development consists of seven towers with one- to three-bedroom condos, as well as freestanding two- to three-bedroom homes. Phase 1 is scheduled for completion in late 2015 or early 2016. Design of Copala’s buildings recalls the gracious Mexican-California hacienda style, with elements including native cantera stone, wrought iron and evocative red tile roofs. All of the homes will feature granite countertops in the kitchen, marble countertops in the bathrooms and marble floors throughout. Appliances will be of the highest quality, and all residences and condos will be wired for a private telephone network with accessories for data and Internet, as well as satellite TV. Layouts are designed to encourage outdoor living. Throughout the development, manicured gardens with local flora will add color to the surroundings, while well-maintained roadways make it easy for residents to get around Quivira or into downtown Cabo San Lucas. Among the community amenities planned are an organic garden in which residents can grow their own herbs and vegetables and a vineyard that will produce grapes for the Quivira winery. Owners at Copala at Quivira will enjoy access to the Club House and Beach Club, as well as to Pueblo Bonito Sunset spa and restaurants. Condos in Copala currently start at $250,000 (USD) and homes at $500,000 (USD). Quivira, the master-planned community in which Copala at Quivira sits, offers its own brand of barefoot elegance. Tranquil and sophisticated, Quivira

Pueblo Bonito’s six hotels—Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa, an adults-only luxury boutique property focused around health and wellness, and Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, with 635 accommodations in hacienda-style villas. Both hotels feature an Armonia Spa, where therapeutic treatments are offered in exquisite surroundings. Copala owners will find Armonia an inviting place to relax, renew and be pampered. At the heart of it all is golf. No course designer has had a more significant impact on golf in Los Cabos than Jack Nicklaus, whose layouts spread from Cabo San Lucas to San Jose del Cabo. The PGA legend’s courses are among the most coveted in Baja, and now Quivira is adding two more Nicklaus masterpieces to the mix. The first will lie partly along the ocean adjacent to the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa. More than seven of its holes will skirt the Pacific, providing a mix of stunning views and intriguing challenge. There is no completion date set yet for the second course; however when the two are complete, one will be private and the other will be for resort guests. While the beach at Quivira is not for swimming—as is true for many of the Cabo San Lucas beaches—it is for walking, strolling, savoring sunsets and arguably some of the best views in the region, especially in winter and early spring when grey whales are abundant in these waters as they migrate to and from the Arctic. Downtown Cabo San Lucas, just three miles away, is well known for its access to deep-sea fishing and its nightlife; however, it also offers quality galleries filled with local and national handicrafts and artwork—and perhaps the perfect piece to decorate your new Copala residence. There is much to do here yet nothing that must be done, and the utter relaxation and pleasure of that makes Copala at Quivira a place that will be easy to love and hard to leave. encompasses cliff top views as well as a three-mile stretch of pristine alabaster sand at the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

One of the things I love most about teaching golf is sharing with my students how to accurately reference the paths of the golf swing. While most higher-handicap golfers play what I call “see-hit-and- hope golf,” it is my experience that is not the case with players on the professional tours. Rather, these players move their clubs in reference to very specific paths throughout the swing.
Takeaway Path In the backswing, I want to power the takeaway through my shoulder rotation in order for my arms and hands to move directly back on top of the toe line. There is a point in the swing when the shaft is level to the ground. If the club is on the correct path, the shaft should be directly on top of the toe line. Swing flaws can easily occur at this point if the shaft is either too far inside or outside the toe line.
Set-up Path When setting up to the golf ball, I have a specific path that goes from the target in the distance back through my golf ball. This is called the target line and this line is the path on which I want my golf ball to travel. As I set up to the ball, I am standing parallel to the target line, establishing what I call the toe line; it’s this line to which my body and toes are aligned. The key to a good set-up is to tilt from the hips so the arms and hands hang directly on top of the toe line. This is important because I want my hands and golf club to move directly on top of the toe line in the takeaway in order for the golf club to be on the correct path for a straight ball flight. These lines are very important references in the golf swing. To help a player establish these lines, I often use sticks or clubs on the ground to serve as reference points.
34 Desert Golf &tennis • April MAy 2014 Golf instruction
Forward Swing Path The setting of the golf club now serves the purpose of establishing what I call the forward swing plane or path. If you were to draw a line through the shaft in transition, ideally you would want that line to point to the golf ball/target line. This line is now the path of my hands in the forward swing. As I rotate my body in the forward motion of the golf swing, my hands will be on this same path as they move precisely in reference to the swing plane. You can see this in the finish of my swing.
Transition Path The key to transitioning from backswing to forward swing is “setting” the golf club correctly. In order to keep the golf club on path, I need to execute the proper hinging of my wrist. The goal of this hinging motion is to precisely angle the shaft of the golf club so that the butt of the club points to the target line/golf ball in transition, depending on the length of my swing. The great Jack Nicklaus described this hinging motion as “feeling the weight of the club cocking the wrist for me,” so he could angle or “set” the golf club to the target line in transition
By referencing these swing paths throughout the golf swing, you will have greater clarity and an increased ability to produce the type of swing that will help you execute your best shots

ot every community can claim to have a famous clown who lives and works within it. In the Coachella Valley, we have just that. His name is Harpo the Clown, and, yes, that Nis the name he answers to. What might seem an odd profile for a publication devoted to golf and tennis actually isn’t. Since 1976, Harpo has been clowning regularly at golf tournaments, celebrity events, tennis tournaments, hospitals and, if you want him, at your private shindig. Harpo adopted his name with the approval of Susan Marx. He had always liked Harpo Marx and his antics. “I have always enjoyed the gentler type of humor, such as [that performed by] Harpo Marx, Red Skelton and Stan Laurel.” Harpo’s friends have included President and Mrs. Gerald Ford, Frank Sinatra, Jack Lemmon and PGA professional Fuzzy Zoeller, among many others. If you are lucky enough to see Harpo’s photo album with all of his celebrity acquaintances, you will see that life has been good for a man whose career choice is a happy-go-lucky clown. Although Harpo never says a word, this writer has observed people stand before him and carry on a 20-minute conversation. Harpo, in clown attire, merely smiles and nods, or pulls out a red spongy nose and quickly pops it on their nose. “A lot of people like the fact that I don’t talk. Most clowns talk, such as Bozo, Ronald McDonald and Timothy P.” Harpo was born in Melrose Park, Ill. When asked his age, he doesn’t reply. When asked about his family, he quickly begins typing. “My brother lives in Chicago and my sister in Florida.” When asked if his clown work bothers his family, he types more. “No, my mother inspired us. My brother is a natural clown, but he doesn’t wear makeup or do it for a living. My sister and I trained and graduated from Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Venice, Florida.” The life of a clown is no easy task. It takes Harpo three hours each day to get ready. “It takes a half hour for makeup, 20 minutes to load my pockets and the rest for hair and clothing.” Very few people have seen
36 Desert Golf &tennis • April MAy 2014 spot light
Harpo without his makeup, and even fewer know who the man behind the clown nose really is. Booked frequently, Harpo spends each day going from one event or venue to another. Sometimes he also simply shows up and entertains. When not on the payroll, Harpo depends on the generosity of the patrons to fund his expenses, meaning tips to pay for transportation and other odds and ends. Harpo has kept a journal for 30 years, and he is now in the process of finishing a book about his life, work and experiences. One of the many stories he has chronicled is about Frank Sinatra and a hobby for which he was not well known. “In the late 1970s early ‘80s, I would perform at the Canyon Hotel in Palm Springs. In those days, it was the hot spot for major events and celebrity vacations, long before all the other major hotel chains moved into the valley. “In the main showroom, Frankie Ford and Andy Angel performed a comedy musical act with Don Parks on drums. Robin Miller performed in the lobby lounge. Frank Sinatra and his friends had come in to see the Ford and Angel show. When Sinatra noticed when he handed me a $100 bill I almost fell over.

efore the desert landscape was dotted with golf courses, a different type of ball was being hit about the valley: the tennis ball. With tremendous foresight and a love for the fantastic desert weather, Pearl McManus, Bdaughter of Palm Springs pioneer John Guthrie McCallum, founded the Palm Springs Tennis Club in 1937. Set against the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, the Tennis Club was built into the side of the rocks. The original grounds included two tennis courts, locker rooms, a large oval swimming pool, a clubhouse, a bar and a cafe. As word about the club spread, socialite McManus and her husband, Austin, hastily added a number of bungalows to accommodate the growing number of international and celebrity guests.
Almost instantaneously, the Palm Springs Tennis Club became a popular retreat from the bustling world of Hollywood, an escape for the rich and famous from the prying paparazzi and fans. An invitation from Pearl and Austin McManus to the Tennis Club was highly coveted and included a weekend of tennis, swimming, downtown nightlife and perhaps a secret rendezvous or two. In the early years, actors Errol Flynn, Ron Colman and Gilbert Roland frequented the club. As the guest list grew, so did the celebrity status. Rhonda Fleming, Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, Dinah Shore and Kirk Douglas all were guests. Other regulars were

approximately $12 million in the Tennis Club, which included the building of award-winning Spencer’s at the Mountain restaurant. “Spencer’s was created to be a place of collective energy for the Tennis Club, a gathering place,” Matzner explains. “The concept was intended to be much smaller; however, we also committed to having it operated on a financial break-even and, as it turned out, it required a larger facility attracting people from a larger area to do that.” Currently, the property features 11 tennis courts (nine lighted), a hotel, pool and spa recreation area, a fitness center, massage facility and Spencer’s. This highly regarded tennis club is also a very active club offering lessons, tournaments and events, and it is open daily, year round. It boasts a waiting list for membership that continues to grow. However, what grabs the immediate attention of members and guests is the stunning landscaping that combines new flora with generation flora dating back to 1937. In 1939, the property was described this way: “With gnarled old mesquite trees shading the lawns, the Tahquitz stream

The new owners, Harry and Elaine Chaddick, immediately started on an expansion of the property, adding more single-story bungalows, new amenities and finally the two-story Tennis Club Hotel. In 1980, the property changed hands once again, purchased this time by Watt Industries. Among the hot commodities in those days were timeshares, so the Tennis Club was converted into a timeshare property. The hotel was remodeled, and when it was finished it featured studios with kitchenettes.

f you have a special occasion coming up, or if you simply want to vacation at one of the most gracious resorts in Mexico, make a reservation at Esperanza, an Auberge IResort. Set atop the bluffs of Punta Ballena (Whale Point), a ten- minute drive from Cabo San Lucas, Esperanza has everything one expects at a Relais & Chateaux property—and then some. In addition to the 57 casitas and suites of the hotel, the resort also offers 60 privately owned villas and 36 private residences. Accommodations range from one to four bedrooms and from 925 to 4,000 square feet. Design elements include handcrafted furnishings, and rooms feature custom amenities, complimentary Wi-Fi and iPod docking stations, among other niceties. The grounds are equally distinctive, and everywhere in the resort artwork is displayed and appreciated. An open-air sculpture garden is one aspect of this dedication to Mexican and Latin American artists. The garden features 36 works in a peaceful, meditative setting. Throughout the resort are also paintings by well-known contemporary Mexican artists. Guests have a choice of dining options. Casual restaurants offer traditional Mexican dishes, American cuisine such as burgers and salads, or pizza. At Cocina del Mar, helmed by an Argentinian-born chef, a three- or four-course menu is offered featuring the food and culinary styles of North, Central and South America. The menu at the Lounge Bar & Humidor includes appetizers and light meals as well as specialty cocktails. But in the evening, there’s extensive tequila and cigar menu as well as entertainment. When it comes to activities, guests at Esperanza have an embarrassment of riches. First, the hotel offers access to four of the area’s most coveted championship golf courses, and tee times can be arranged through the concierge staff. Cabo del Sol includes a Jack Nicklaus-designed course and a Tom Weiskopf layout. At Palmilla, Nicklaus has crafted 27 holes of spectacular Baja golf, while Cabo Real features a Robert Trent Jones-designed course. Roy Dye designed the course at Cabo San Lucas Country Club. Greens fees range from $175 to $250. If it’s pure indulgence or revitalization you long for, the Spa at Esperanza easily delivers. Incorporating the elements of the surrounding landscape—water, light, desert and sea—spa therapies pamper and restore. The facilities include a steam cave, soaking tubs, a VIP couples’ treatment room, sunning garden, yoga and Pilates studio and outdoor showers. There’s also a salon and a full-service fitness facility. Esperanza offers a rich mix of cultural activities and experiences: Spanish and salsa lessons, painting classes, guided tours of San Jose del Cabo’s distinctive art district and a guided tour of the area’s top boutiques, whether the goal is to find crafts, jewelry, antiques or any of the other tempting items sold in local shops. When you have a shopping assistant, it’s hard to go wrong. Within the resort, each day or evening presents a new experiential opportunity. On one night it’s a celebration of all things Mexican, with specialty foods, strolling musicians and local artisans, with the night culminating in a spectacular fireworks display. The executive chef offers cooking classes, after which participants enjoy the fruits of their labor on the beach, served up with a traditional mojito. Professional cigar rollers demonstrate their skills and the cigar-making process, with private classes

offered upon request. There’s an evening dedicated to the discovery of Mexico’s history of winemaking, the country’s wine regions and its wines, during which wine is paired with Baja cuisine. Of course, one must know about tequila, too, and for that the resort has a Master Tequilero who offers tastings and initiates guests into the resort’s Blue Agave Society. The Southern Baja region is near perfect when it comes to weather, with some 350 sunny days, refreshing evenings, low humidity and cool breezes. Average daily temperatures are in the 70s, with summer averaging mid-80s to 90s. Should you need a little extra cooling off at the pool, however, the hotel has a menu of complimentary “refreshers” on hand, including frozen popsicles, snow cones, fruit skewers, misters and aloe cubes. Hand and foot massages are also available. Although there are indulgences and temptations galore, Esperanza also has a focus on wellness and fitness. Complimentary yoga classes are offered daily in the 1,000-square-foot yoga studio, and all rooms include complimentary yoga mats and fitness DVDs.

t’s a shame. The new McLaren P1 is sold out. Yes, all the scheduled vehicles for production were snatched up in pre-sale faster than the P1 does a split at Nuremburg. IThe next time someone tells you about the global economic downturn, just look them in the eye and say, “P1.” That will stop them in their twisted thinking. This $1.15 million vehicle didn’t even hit the street before people jumped at the chance to drop a heavy chunk of change on it. It’s a testament to the fact that the P1 may be the most
innovative and exciting car to hit the market in decades, and it’s also one of the fastest production cars in history. That’s a recipe for true love. McLaren has only recently released the performance numbers for the P1 and they are staggering. According to the company, this beauty does 0-60 in under three seconds. There’s no slowing down after that either, with the car hitting the 124 mph mark in under seven seconds. The electronically limited top speed of the P1 is 217 mph. These are numbers that NASA would envy on its way to orbit. McLaren confidently touts them with the nonchalance that comes with being the world’s most exclusive supercar maker. The P1 makes the F1 look nearly pedestrian in its stance. Carbon-composite panels make the doors appear ready to fly off the hinges. Open them and you’ll see them rocket skyward, easily satisfying the true supercar enthusiast in you. The P1 seats two rather than the three that the F1 crammed into the small cockpit, and, as you can imagine, everything is where it should be. The downsizing stopped when it came to horsepower. The P1 punches 903 horsepower. How that comes from an eight-cylinder, 3.8-liter engine is magic akin to Merlin’s work more than McLaren’s. The gas engine is paired with a

57-pound electric motor. Engineers put dynamite to the “box” and created a new system for joining electric motors with gasoline motors. The result is one of the most powerful pound-for-pound engines ever made for a production car. Keeping the engine under 12 cylinders keeps the weight low. The P1 engineers created a stiff aluminum that transfers power better than the aluminum in their F1 or 12C models. The P1 calls its quick-delivery power system the IPAS (Instant Power Assist System). Using the IPAS, drivers rush all the available electrical power to the engine when the hammer is dropped. Push another button and the Drag Reduction System (DRS) deploys an active rear wing to minimize drag. McLaren claims that 1,323 pounds of down force is achieved at 160 mph. This exceeds any other production road car in history. McLaren has taken extreme measures to save weight. The sub frame of the P1 is Kevlar and carbon fiber, creating a skeletal
