After announcing its entry into the Hypercar category last April , McLaren has unveiled its car and more details about its program. The cars will be entered in collaboration with United Autosports, a team that has been competing in LMP2 since 2017. The Hypercar will be powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine designed by McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive. The chassis will be built, produced, and developed by Dallara.

 

James Barclay , who has been Managing Director of JLR Motorsport and Jaguar TCS Racing in the Formula E World Championship, will join the team in September, following the season, which concludes at the end of July.

He will report to CEO Zak Brown , who said: “His leadership will be crucial in guiding us over the coming months as we prepare for our 2027 entry. We have a rich history in this series, and with James at the helm, we are confident that McLaren Endurance Racing will quickly establish itself as a competitive and successful team. I look forward to seeing it develop under his leadership.”
