The livery of United Autosports’ pair of McLaren 720S GT3 EVOs for the FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 class has been revealed before the Qatar Prologue test scheduled for Feb. 24-25. The cars, numbered 59 and 95 to honor McLaren’s 1995 Le Mans victory, will sport a papaya and black livery with design elements connecting to the past and aligning with the brand’s Formula 1 and IndyCar designs. United Autosports CEO Richard Dean expressed pride in the new McLaren look for their return to Le Mans and the WEC, emphasizing racing heritage and a contemporary McLaren aesthetic. The 2024 season marks McLaren’s participation in all three motorsport “triple crown” events, with plans to engage in the Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500, and Le Mans, excluding contention for the overall win at Le Mans in the WEC races. McLaren Automotive CEO Michael Leiters underlined the significance of McLaren’s racing tradition and its association with United Autosports, presenting the 720S GT3 EVO ahead of the WEC debut in Qatar with a strong driver lineup, highlighting McLaren’s performance engineering programs and the homage to their Le Mans victory through the special livery design.
