McLaren Automotive has been confirmed as a manufacturer represented in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with nominated racing partner United Autosports contesting the championship in the LMGT3 class with two 720S GT3 EVO cars.
The 2024 WEC commences on March 2 in Qatar, the first round of eight in a championship that ends in Bahrain on November 2. The championship includes the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15-16, in which McLaren cars will compete for the first time since 1998.
The McLaren name will return to Le Mans 29 years after winning the race on its debut appearance, completing the ‘Triple Crown’ of victories at Le Mans, the Indianapolis 500 and Monaco Grand Prix. To celebrate McLaren’s return to endurance racing, the entries will pay tribute to the famous debut with race numbers #59 – the race number of the winning F1 GTR - and #95, the year of the landmark win.
