Mock-up of MCLAREN 720S GTLM IMSA car.

Zak Brown's ambition of spreading MCLAREN's wings across motorsport still alive after IndyCar expansion by buying Schmidt Peterson team. IMSA WTSCC also best option for MCLAREN but as a full-factory team in GTLM class. During Ron Dennis era, MCLAREN's core business only in Formula 1 but sports car racing market only customer racing with semi-factory support. I would love to see MCLAREN race in IMSA GTLM class after Ford's dismission in GTLM class.

McLaren has no ownership of the IndyCar team, they are just partners (see it as a special sponsor).
