Lichfield driver Adam Christodoulou will be one of the first racers to get behind the wheel of the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 race car when he takes to the track in Belgium.
The city speed merchant will be taking part in the Total 24 hours race at the Spa-Francorchamps track this weekend. More than 70cars and dozens of manufacturers will be battling out on track to claim the crown at this prestigious 24 hour endurance race.
Also racing in the three McLaren’s are Christodoulou’s CRS Racing team principal Andrew Kirkaldy and McLaren Automotive chief test driver Chris Goodwin.
Chris, a director of the new McLaren GT company, said:
“I’m delighted with the quality of the drivers we have enlisted as we take the 12C GT3 to its first 24 hour race. This level of endurance racing is a crucial test for the car technically, and we need the best possible team working with us to ensure we receive intelligent, objective feedback on the 12C GT3 driving experience. We will use this feedback as we continue to develop the car in readiness for customers to go racing next year.”
The race runs on July 30 to 31 , starting at 4pm on the Saturday.
