The McLaren Shadow grand finals have arrived, and it started with a bang. 

The first of four jam-packed days consisted of the finalists focusing on human performance with McLaren Applied Technologies. 

The assessment sessions included stimulus detection, central processing, physical capabilities and driving skill on the McLaren simulator - all of which utilised biometric data. Watch the video above to find out more from our experts at Applied Technologies.

Day Two will see our gamers swap the virtual world for reality as they get behind the wheel of a McLaren 570S GT4 at the famous Dunsfold track.
