McLaren doesn't know where to go. They know they are not as strong as they look. They have to be careful with the next step.

Probably an unfair statement to make when they only compete in a BOP formula, except engine dependant F1

Theres talk of Mclaren developing a track version of the brand new 600LT, I wonder if they will also develop a GT4 spec to replace the 570s...

It's a shame they didn't just build a GTE and GT3 backwards compatible car like Aston Martin and Ferrari have done.

GT3 is business. GTE is waste. McLaren can't be in F1, IndyCar, HyperCar, GTE, GT3, GT4, etc, all at same time. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting. Zak Brown must decide.

Wouldn't mind seeing that in GTD in IMSA next season. Although the switch from the old school fabric to a metal tow eye just isn't the same. Noticed more than a few GT4 and the TCR cars had fabric straps flapping in the air and something cool and old school about it. Course my first thought was there's a McLaren engineer somewhere ticked off about that varied aero
