McLaren GT Factory drivers Rob Bell, Côme Ledogar and Shane van Gisbergen will compete in the Blancpain Endurance Series alongside McLaren GT Academy Drivers Andrew Watson, Struan Moore and Alex Fontana. The series starts in Monza, Italy on April 23rd. They will also compete in the famous Total 24 Hours of Spa later in the season.

Andrew Kirkaldy, Managing Director, McLaren GT said: “The driver line-up in place with Garage 59 highlights the intentions the team has for the season. With a mixture of experience and exciting young talent in the roster of Factory and Academy Drivers, and key engineering and strategic support on the pitwall, the team is well-placed to be a true contender in the championship, building on the strong debut season for the 650S GT3 last year. Working closely with the team throughout the season ahead, and with valuable feedback available from the drivers in real-world race environments, it will also help us improve and develop the car further, benefitting all customer teams globally.”
