Spotted! Lando Norris’s 1,000bhp Liberty Walk GT-R being towed through London

Sure, Big Ben is really quite big, but is it as big as a specially liveried Nissan GT-R with 1,000bhp heading to a really really quite big event this weekend? No. No it is not.

Spotted here crawling across Westminster Bridge is McLaren F1 ace Lando Norris’s very own GT-R. A Liberty Walk GT-R with many horsepowers and an eye-catching livery that matches his helmet design, strapped to the back of an army truck headed for Silverstone.

Because there’s a really quite big race at Silverstone this weekend, and Lando comes into it with a lot of momentum behind him. He scored an emphatic victory in Austria last weekend, and Silverstone’s another – that’s right! – really quite big test.

Probably why he needs his GT-R there for good luck. It’ll be on display over the entire weekend and will complement a new addition to the historic circuit – the ‘Landostand’. This is, quite literally, a grandstand named after Mr Norris, that apparently sold out in less than two hours.

So the kid’s got support…
