Lichfield driver Adam Christodoulou has helped McLaren put their new car through its paces.
The former British Formula Renault and Star Mazda champion was part of the team behind the wheel of the GT3-spec McLaren MP4-12C in the Total 24 Hours of Spa.
Christodoulou, Phil Quaife, Glynn Geddie and Roger Wills finished eleventh in the Pro-Am class, and 25th overall, with the new car showing promising form.
A spokesperson said:
“Despite still being at an early stage of its development, the team demonstrated the potential of the car on Thursday by scoring fastest in the first free practice session.
“As McLaren now looks to develop the car for a full consumer programme in 2012, this key race feedback will help to shape the development of the vehicle in the coming months.”
Christodoulou managed to score the fastest individual lap, taking the 12C GT3 around the circuit in an outstanding lap time of 2:23.214 on lap 256.
