entered into the 24 Hours of Spa.
The nine Mclarens are entered by six teams: Von Ryan Racing, ART Grand Prix, ASM, Lapidus Racing, Boutsen-Ginion Racing and Gulf Racing.
The 24 Hours of Spa is part of the Blancpain Endurance Series this year. The circuit is 4.35 miles long and there are 60 cars entered in the race.
“With wins recorded in FIA GT1 World by Hexis Racing and, more recently, by ART GP in the French GT series, it is very satisfying to see that the potential of the 12C GT3 is beginning to be realized at this early stage of its life. Spa 24-hour is unlike any other GT race. It is a spectacular, but incredibly challenging, circuit and efficiency and reliability will be vital to all competitors as well as being able to react to the often changeable track conditions," said McLaren test driver Chris Goodwin.
