Interesting to see the MceLrea team running a McLaren as I was told they were running Porches.

They've been running Tony Wall's Objective McLaren for a few years in AGT and B12 and the Fraser Ross Total car this year in Aus GT so its not a huge stretch to think that they'd run at least one of those cars at the 12hr

...with Werner/Dumas/Makowiecki announced in the Manthey car a few weeks back- Porsche are taking this one pretty seriously.... Any thoughts on that mystery sixth Merc on the original entry list, with team and drivers TBA?- Just a placeholder in case a deal can be put together, or could we be due another heavyweight announcement still to come- something like HTP with a full deck of Merc factory drivers?

To be fair they probably filmed these things back in mid-November

I daresay.... which makes it even more off the topic of the 12 hour it was labelled, as the subject of most of the clip, Matt Campbell, was not even a confirmed 12 hour driver until just before Christmas.

Keen to see the level of McLaren GT involvement in the YNA operation - hopefully its high (2016 levels).

With two VASC stars, one of whom was a McLaren GT driver for a while, and a current McLaren GT works driver, I'm pretty sure that car will be as close to a works entry as possible.

The second car isn’t just a bunch of Am’s? Scott McLaughlin is going to be lightning, and Andrew Watson is a McLaren Factory driver. He is fast. Watch the GT Open 2017 season. You’ll see Alex West is a fast am too... And to your other comment I’m well aware Lowndes is in the other YNA car, what’s your point? |

With the drivers named, there is a more than very good chance that the cars may be entered by Mcelrea Racing, but there will be Mclaren fingers in the garage.

I would say the Am car is a way of trying to sweep the Am class as well for the marque, the drivers in the McLaughlin car are no slouches, you are reading too much into the "Am" stereotype. |
