McLaren Racing, the United Kingdom-based Formula 1, INDYCAR and Formula E Team, is expanding into the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in the Hypercar prototype class beginning in 2027.

The British marque—which this year is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its 24 Hours of Le Mans victory with the F1 GTR in 1995--joins the top class in sports car racing for the first time since 1998.

In partnership with United Autosports, McLaren Automotive entered FIA WEC's LMGT3 division in 2024, tallying a trio of top four finishes in the 720S LMGT3 Evo's maiden campaign in the series.

McLaren is the latest manufacturer to announce its intent to join the Hypercar grid in the coming years, alongside Hyundai's Genesis-branded prototype effort and Ford, which both confirmed new Hypercar programs earlier this year.
