Rookie Gautier and Reigning Champion Flewitt Share the Spoils As Pure Mclaren GT Series Visits Hungary MEDIA Media information 13.00 BST, July 1, 2019 — Rookie Gautier and reigning champion Flewitt share the spoils as Pure McLaren GT Series visits Hungary ▪ Bruce McLaren Cup contender Patrice Gautier impresses with maiden Pure McLaren GT Series win in Hungary ▪ Reigning champion Mia Flewitt claims victory double to extend title lead ▪ Pole position and double podium for Stewart Proctor at Hungarian Grand Prix venue The 2019 FIA-approved Pure McLaren GT Series season continued at the Hungaroring in Budapest on June 29-30 with a field of McLaren 570S GT4 cars competing on the 4.381 km (2.722 mi) circuit, home to the Hungarian Grand Prix. In Saturday qualifying, Stewart Proctor took pole position with a lap time that was four tenths of a second quicker than his closest competitor, rookie Brendan Iribe who had impressed last time out at Spa-Francorchamps. In third place, Issam Charrouf headed reigning champion Mia Flewitt, with Patrice Gautier fifth. A storming start for Gautier moved him up to second place on the opening lap and perfectly-placed to launch an assault on the race lead. A tense and thrilling battle for the win ensued and was settled when Proctor spun on lap 10 of 15, earning Gautier his first victory as well as the Bruce McLaren Cup for rookies and the fastest lap. Proctor salvaged sixth place, whilst Charrouf and Mohammed Al-Khalifa joined the winner on the podium. On Sunday, Flewitt made amends for a non-finish in the previous day’s race by qualifying on pole position ahead of rookie Nick Moss and Iribe, who had also failed to reach the chequered flag on Saturday. Proctor was fourth, heading Charrouf and race one winner Gautier. In blisteringly hot conditions, Flewitt denied Moss any hope of victory, building and maintaining a gap of more than five seconds to the flag. Moss did win the Bruce McLaren Cup, however, whilst Proctor completed the podium ahead of Charrouf and local racer Peter Karpati. Flewitt completed a victory double in the weekend’s final race, this time heading Proctor home after another finely-judged performance in which she extended her lead to just under four seconds. Iribe took third place and Bruce McLaren Cup honours, heading home Charrouf and Al-Khalifa. With four wins in the opening five races of the 2019 Pure McLaren GT Series, Flewitt now heads second-placed Charrouf by 38 points, whilst Moss is a further eight points in arrears. Race one winner Gautier and Proctor tie for fourth place just one point behind. The next Pure McLaren GT Series rounds will take place at Hockenheim, the home of the German Grand Prix, on 31 August – 1 September.

  • Communiqué De Presse
    Communiqué De Presse 27 JUILLET 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Report HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX RACE REPORT Infiniti Red Bull Racing­Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo raced to victory in today’s absorbing Hungarian Grand Prix. Daniel’s win, the second for the team and for the Renault Energy F1­2014 Power Unit this season, came after a thrilling three­way battle for the lead with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel secured seventh position for Infiniti Red Bull Racing and Jean­Eric Vergne ninth for Scuderia Toro Rosso, putting three Renault Energy F1­2014 Power Units into the top ten. The result consolidates Infiniti Red Bull Racing’s second position in the constructors’ championship and Daniel Ricciardo’s third in the drivers’ race. Key race points: Daniel Ricciardo mastered the ever­evolving track conditions to move into the lead on lap 9 during the first safety car period. He retained the lead until the second deployment of the safety car and then pitted for a third time in the final third of the race. The Australian hunted down Rosberg for P3, then made a bravado move on Lewis Hamilton for second on lap 67. The next lap he outbraked Alonso into the first corner for the lead and eased out a cushion of five seconds to seal his second career win and the second for the Renault Energy F1­2014 Power Unit. Sebastian Vettel was sitting in the top three until the first safety car. Pulling into the pits a lap after the following pack dropped him down the field, into the middle of a close­fought battle for fourth position with Vergne, Rosberg and Hamilton.

  • Mia Flewitt Secures Second Successive Pure Mclaren GT Series Title in Bahrain
    MEDIA Media release 13.00 GMT, November 29, 2019 Mia Flewitt secures second successive Pure McLaren GT Series title in Bahrain ▪ Mia Flewitt successfully defends Pure McLaren GT Series championship title ▪ Race wins for Al-Khalifa, Ojjeh and Proctor as 2019 season concludes in Bahrain ▪ First ever night races for Pure McLaren GT Series The final event of the 2019 FIA-approved Pure McLaren GT Series season took place in Bahrain on November 26-28 with a field of 19 McLaren 570S GT4 cars competing on the 5.412 km (3.363 mi) Sakhir circuit, also home to the Bahrain Grand Prix. With the championship set to be decided, there was a lot at stake in the final three races of the season, with reigning champion Mia Flewitt aiming to fend off rookie challenger Nick Moss. Adding to the excitement, these would be the first ever Pure McLaren GT Series races to be held at night. Heading both title contenders in qualifying on the opening day of the event, however, was invitation class driver Isa Al-Khalifa, who took pole position for race one. Points leader Flewitt would share the front of the grid, fastest of the championship competitors but Moss was unable to lap within a second of the pole time, and joined Issam Charrouf on the next row. Despite dropping to fourth place on the opening lap, Al-Khalifa quickly recovered to win the opening race. Meanwhile there was plenty of action behind, mostly from Moss who tailed leader Flewitt on the opening tour before falling to fifth, sparking a stirring recovery drive.

  • Grand Tourer’
    MEDIA Media information 8:00 ET, April 3, 2019 — McLaren readies rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’ . The McLaren of Grand Tourers reveals its sleek, elegant shape . First announced by CEO, Mike Flewitt, during McLaren’s Geneva press conference . Disguising camouflage to be removed in May . The fourth McLaren to be revealed under the company’sTrack25 business plan . Follow cars.mclaren.com/newrules McLaren has removed the shape-changing, additional body panels previously used to hide the form of its imminent, rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’. The car’s sleek and boldly elegant design can now be discerned although the lightweight body remains covered by a shrink-wrapped livery that suggests the number of established rules the McLaren of Grand Tourers will break. The company is promising it will begin to peel off this disguise this May. The application of the shrink-wrap will also enable the Development Team to enter the closing stages of the car’s extensive evaluation program, which has already encompassed thousands of miles in hot and cold climates across the globe. The ‘Grand Tourer’ has proven its ability to cover long distances in supreme comfort, but always with extra shape-changing and noise-inducing panels applied. Now that these have been removed, the Development Team will run further validation tests, including a 1,000 mile drive from McLaren’s development base near Barcelona, Spain, back to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. To be completed in one stint with two occupants and a full complement of luggage, this is one of many long-distance drives that will help the team to confirm the new model is both comfortable and refined over the long distances a grand tourer is expected to consume … one rule that McLaren won’t be breaking.

  • F1 Digest – Prelude to the Belgian Grand Prix
    F1 Digest – Prelude to the Belgian Grand Prix Christine: The Belgian Grand Prix has always been a popular stop on the Formula One calendar, and its stock only increases when it brings us back from the four weeks of summer break. With an enforced fortnight of factory shutdown, the teams, the drivers, the fans, everyone is eager to get back to work, and there is no better place to rekindle the flames of the F1 season than at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps. Of course it has Eau Rouge, the challenging uphill chicane that is often proclaimed the best corner in the sport. But it also has an intense rest of the lap, great surroundings, brilliant fans, and some incredibly changeable weather. There’s an awful lot of fun in store this weekend at Spa. Mr C: Welcome to F1 Digest – Prelude to the Belgian Grand Prix. This is your Sidepodcast preview for the weekend’s racing action at Spa. Here’s your host, Christine Blachford. Christine: It’s almost pointless to talk about the weather at Spa from this far ahead, because the track has a micro- climate all to itself. Not only that, but as it is such a long circuit, the weather at one end can be completely different to that at the other. There aren’t many tracks where you could do with both wet and dry tyres on the same lap. Nevertheless, the long-range weather forecasts have done their best and there is rumoured to be plenty of sunshine on Friday, that gradually descends into clouds on Saturday for qualifying, and then even further to rain on race day.

  • First Mclaren Speedtail Attribute Prototype, ‘Albert’ Squares up to Rigorous Real-World Testing As Development Accelerates
    MEDIA Media Information 08:00 EST, November 09, 2018 — First McLaren Speedtail attribute prototype, ‘Albert’ squares up to rigorous real-world testing as development accelerates ▪ McLaren’s new ‘Hyper GT’ embarks on year-long test regime underpinning development of new center-seat, 250mph hybrid ▪ Closed-facility testing of the fastest McLaren ever now underway; public road trials due to commence in December 2018 ▪ Attribute prototypes join Speedtail ‘mules’ in ongoing durability testing ▪ First attribute prototype affectionately christened ‘Albert’, in tribute to its famous McLaren F1 forebear that was designed in Albert Drive, Woking, Surrey UK ▪ First customer deliveries of McLaren Speedtail due early 2020 The first hybrid powertrain prototype of McLaren Automotive’s breathtaking new Ultimate Series flagship, the McLaren Speedtail, officially embarks this week on a year-long test regime that will underpin the development of the first McLaren Hyper-GT. The punishing test program in the run-up to production commencing at the end of 2019 will see Speedtail prototypes running in Europe, North America and Africa, initially at bespoke automotive test facilities but later amongst traffic on ‘normal’ roads. Deployment of the first Speedtail attribute prototype marks an exciting new stage in the development of the fastest, most aerodynamic and most luxurious McLaren ever made. The prototype is officially designated MVY02* but echoing the naming of development test mules of its legendary forebear, the 1992 McLaren F1, has been christened, ‘Albert’. This is a respectful reflection not only on the name of the McLaren F1 mule ‘Albert’ but also the Albert Drive premises in which the F1 was designed.
