Same colours but different livery for United Autosports McLarens

We take the same and we start again. Or almost. For this new season of WEC, United Autosports has decided to bet once again on orange and black for the decoration of its McLaren 720S GT3 Evo but changing their livery which is no longer divided in two as in 2024.

To distinguish the No. 59 and No. 95, whose liveries are identical, the subtlety is found on the rearview mirrors and the windshield strip. These elements are orange on the first and black on the second.

Note that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the victory of the F1 Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing GTR 24 Hours of Le Mans thanks to Yannick Dalmas, JJ Lehto (Jyrki Juhani Järvilehto) and Masanori Sekiya.

« Now that we have proven the speed and endurance of the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO at the highest level of competition, we enter the new season confident of challenging for the WEC title alongside United Autosports., says Michael Leiters, Managing Director of McLaren Automotive. Racing is in the DNA of all our supercars and the WEC, with the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans, is the ideal competitive environment for them. So we’re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together on track this year. ».

On the driver side, United Autosports has changed its crews. James Cottingham and Grégoire Saucy are joined by Sébastien Baud on the N°59. Marino Sato sees Darren Leung and Sean Gelael supporting him on the N°95.
