23 Jan 2020|1,135 views
The McLaren 720S GT3 will compete in the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour race for the first time after Customer Racing outfit 59Racing confirmed the details of its entry.
A two-car lineup will contest Australia's premier GT endurance event and the first round of the 2020 Intercontinental GT Challenge later in February. McLaren Factory Driver Ben Barnicoat alongside Tom Blomqvist and Alvaro Parente will battle for outright race victory in the Pro class, while McLaren Professional Driver Martin Kodric will fight for Silver class honours with experienced Australian GT duo Fraser Ross and Dominic Storey.
Barnicoat and Parente last raced together in 2018 as part of the lineup which successfully debuted the 720S GT3 at the Gulf 12 Hours in December 2018. Parente returns to Mount Panorama looking to repeat his 2016 race-winning efforts in a McLaren, while Blomqvist has enjoyed further top-level endurance having secured victory at the infamous 24 Hours of Spa in 2018.
