McLaren Motorsport is a globally recognized force in competitive racing, renowned for its engineering innovation, technical precision, and a relentless drive for performance excellence. Since its founding in 1963 by New Zealand racing legend Bruce McLaren, the brand has become synonymous with success in Formula 1, earning eight Constructors’ Championships and twelve Drivers’ Championships with legendary figures like Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Lewis Hamilton.
In recent years, McLaren has reasserted itself as a front-running F1 contender, culminating in a standout 2024 season with the MCL38
Which secured six victories, 21 podium finishes, and ultimately clinched the Constructors’ Championship, reaffirming its competitive stature in the sport’s modern era. However, McLaren’s motorsport ambitions extend far beyond Formula 1. The brand has strategically expanded into all-electric and off-road racing through its NEOM McLaren Formula E and Extreme E teams, showcasing its commitment to sustainability, diversity, and the future of mobility.
These programs not only serve as testbeds for cutting-edge electric technologies but also highlight McLaren’s adaptability across different racing disciplines
Looking ahead, McLaren is preparing for a major return to endurance racing, targeting a 2027 entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class—an ambitious move that will place it alongside the world’s most advanced prototype manufacturers.
Meanwhile, its GT racing division continues to grow
Supplying customer teams with race-winning machinery such as the 720S GT3 Evo and the Artura GT4, both of which reflect McLaren’s philosophy of translating motorsport-derived technology into high-performance, track-proven solutions. Additionally, McLaren Applied, the brand’s advanced technology division, continues to innovate at the intersection of data, design, and sustainability, exemplified by future-focused concepts like the MCLExtreme—a radical 2050 electric race car that explores AI co-piloting, self-healing materials, and shape-shifting aerodynamics.
“Through its expanding footprint across Formula 1, Formula E, Extreme E, GT racing, and soon endurance racing, McLaren Motorsport remains not only a symbol of elite performance but also a visionary brand actively shaping the technological and environmental future of global motorsport”.
