THE CAR

The McLaren 720S GT3 started its competitive debut with customer teams during the 2019 season, following an intensive test programme which has covered thousands of kilometres across the globe. This latest model pushes the boundaries of what is possible, and begins a new chapter in our legendary sports car racing story.

More than 90 percent of components which form the latest GT3 model have been changed or optimised in some way from the ground breaking 720S. The combination of changes to bodywork, aerodynamics and suspension will deliver a significantly enhanced car, designed to excel on the most demanding circuits, under the extreme pressures of endurance racing.

The final round of the McLaren Trophy heads to Barcelona this weekend, and 7TSIX will be joined by former McLaren factory driver, Joe Osborne. Bringing years of experience of GT competition and the McLaren race car, Joe will co-drive the #15 McLaren 570S alongside season regular Danny Henrey, who currently leads both the 570S Trophy and the Am classes. The results achieved so far also stands 7TSIX third in the Teams’ championship table, and strong results over the two races of the weekend could secure all three titles in the inaugural season of the McLaren Trophy.

Joe arrives at the team with extensive knowledge of the McLaren model, having been part of the team who helped develop the car, as well as enjoying racing success behind the wheel. He also has experience of the championship, having secured pole position in the opening round of the Artura Trophy at Circuit Paul Ricard. The 34-year-old will race with Danny, who has campaigned the whole season solo so far. Despite not running with a professional co-driver, as most of the field has done, Danny has taken class podiums at each of the five events held so far, and also claimed impressive overall 570S Trophy victories at both Circuit Paul Ricard and Spa-Francorchamps.

Heading into the last weekend of the season, at the famous Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona, Danny holds a five-point advantage at the head of the 570S Class. His results to date also stand 7TSIX in third within the overall Teams’ standings.

“Danny has delivered an incredible run of results this season so far, and has impressed everyone with his pace and consistency at each of the weekends. To be leading the championship, and to keep the team in contention, is a real credit to his performances. It is really great to welcome Joe to the team for the final round, and he brings a wealth of experience which really bolsters Danny’s championship challenge. Joe is a hugely popular figure in the paddock, and has proven himself at the wheel of many McLarens over the years, so I think they will make a formidable pairing to sign off the season.”

Joe Edge, 7TSIX, team owner

“It is great to be back on the McLaren Trophy grid, and really looking forward to joining 7TSIX and Danny for the final push in the championship fight. I’ve watched Danny’s performances over the season with interest, and he has just continued to improve with each event. He has more than held his own against the whole grid, which includes some really experienced and quick pros. It’s going to be a great weekend, and hopefully we can bring home the results for both Danny and the team to sign off a great first season in the championship.”

Danny and Joe take on the season concluding fifth round, over the weekend 29 September-1 October. The two sprint races take place at Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona, Spain, and will be streamed live – check out the team’s social channels for further information and timings.
