More McLarens racing globally the goal for Pfaff-McLaren partnership
Following McLaren Automotive’s recent partnership with United Autosports in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, they have now teamed up with Pfaff Motorsports to campaign a 720S GT3 Evo in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD PRO class. This marks McLaren’s first foray into GTD PRO in the WeatherTech Championship. The timing of these announcements is likely not coincidental, as McLaren’s growing brand excitement and potential for growth played a significant role in this decision. Pfaff Motorsports, which has predominantly raced Porsches in the past, sees McLaren as a true partner and is positioning itself for future opportunities. While drivers for the McLaren lineup have yet to be confirmed, there are hints that a McLaren factory driver may be involved. Although Pfaff will miss the December homologation test due to a later delivery of the car, they believe there is sufficient time to prepare and test extensively before the Roar and the Rolex 24 weekends. McLaren’s future plans in sports car racing remain uncertain, but the company seems to be priming itself for a greater presence.
