United Autosports chooses the McLaren MP4-12C

United Autosports took part in the first Blancpain season this year Endurance Series with Audi R8 LMS with the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps where it took 11th and 14th positions in the general classification. The Anglo-American team was able to see the new McLaren MP4-12C GT3 in action on the Belgian Ardennes circuit and seems not to have resisted the charms of its line since the team ordered two models to compete in the entire 2012 season.

Zak Brown, the co-owner of the team, trusts the British structure to provide him with high-performance cars, having had the privilege of establishing relationships with the manufacturer for several years. “I am delighted to join the Blancpain Endurance Series season with McLaren next year”, comments the president of the Anglo-American team. ?I have had a lot of business with them over the last few years in F1 and I admire their success. The new car looks amazing and really fast. I can't wait to see two McLarens in United colours. »

Martin Whitmarsh, the director of McLaren, is also happy to see his first customer teams taking a close interest in his new competition model. “I am very pleased that United Autosports will be running the MP4-12C in 2012. I know the team is waiting to receive a GT car packed with F1 technology. We are committed to providing MP4-12C GT3 owners with incredible racing experiences. »
