McLaren Automotive announces the McLaren Trophy, a new racing championship designed to challenge and develop Pro-Am driver pairings within a sociable environment at some of Europe’s best racing circuits alongside Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS events when the series makes its debut in 2023. The new championship will join the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS bill and will be branded McLaren Trophy, Europe, placing the competitors in front of GT teams, drivers and fans and making it an ideal destination for McLaren owners and supporters.
At the heart of the McLaren Trophy is the all-new Artura Trophy race car. It is based on the Artura GT4 but freed from Balance of Power (BoP) regulations. This provides the benefit of enhanced power and downforce levels to increase engagement and reduce lap times to a level closer to GT3 machinery. Buyers of the Artura Trophy will be able to convert their car to GT4 specifications by adjusting the engine management and changing the aerodynamic package. This opens up a customer to compete in other events. When racing, each amateur driver will pair up with a professional racer. The series rules will force the amateur to qualify the car and start the race before they'll be allowed to hand the wheel to the more experienced person.
