McLaren confirms 2016 Factory Driver plans ahead of Geneva Motor Show

Following the most successful season for McLaren GT, with the 650S GT3 winning on each of the four continents it competed on, 2016 will see more cars competing in more championships across the world.

Plans for Factory Drivers Rob Bell and Alvaro Parente are now finalised along with confirmation of the signing of Come Ledogar to the works lineup. It is confirmed that Ledogar will contest the Blancpain Endurance Series in a McLaren 650S GT3.

In addition, the recently-announced Driver Academy is further strengthened with Colin Thompson joining for the 2016 season. He is the fourth driver to join the McLaren GT Driver Academy alongside Alex Fontana, Struan Moore and Andrew Watson. 

The announcements also coincide with confirmation that the 650S GT3 will line up as part of an impressive display at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show for the first time, alongside the three-tier model range from McLaren Automotive.
