Congrats Mike! If anyone is to get just one McLaren F1 then this is the one. It is the most significant of all the race versions as it won the 1995 24hrs of LeMans outright, (as the guys have said above), an amazing achievement as it was the first time the car had competed at LeMans and it was very close indeed in spec to the road car. In fact, due to the engine air intake restrictors required on the race car (part of a equivalency formula thought up by the organisers of LM) the race car had less power than the road car.

I have the same model except that mine has a two plane rear wing whereas the one you got has a single plane rear wing. the 2 plane wing is correct on the 1995 LM cars, but the single plane wing is correct for the 1996 cars. Unfortunately UT when they re-released the 1995 Mac's after they did the 1996 cars, did not revert back to the 2 plane wing, but apart from this oversight it is an accurate model.

Here is a pic of my version for comparison:

Actually, UT re-did three of the short tails, the #59 Ueno Clinic, the #51 Harrods (Derek and Justin Bell/Ayrton Senna Memorial Car), and the #24 Gulf.

Here is a pictoral of the #51 and the differences between 1995's and 1996's:
