I'd heard recently that #01R would run for this event but needed this to be released first so as not to spoil the party

Quite a turnaround on #01R's status then. Didn't MSO (or someone related to McLaren) say that Ron had demanded it never run again?

Re: Mclaren at Le Mans 2015

Good news !
Let's hope a confirmation from ACO (LeMans organisation) and McLaren (MSO) follow soon.
During the Goodwood 73rd Members Meeting I've been told by 'McLaren-people' #01R wouldn't run again. Hopefully Ron changed his mind. I suggested to do the finish straight with #01R only, as in '95, but this link does say a lap. Which is even better
I'll ask as many photographers I know around there to do make as many pics as we can.
And finally, JJ and Sekiya back at LeMans, I waited a while for them to ask a signature in my GTR book

Re: Mclaren at Le Mans 2015

Very interesting indeed. It's right that #01R is at least this one time on the track with the driver who finished the race 1995. Good to hear also JJ and Sekiya coming to the event.
As we all Hopelly remember; without JJ's performance during that long wet night.....
Fantastic. Hope to get good images and videos of this Historic Race weekend.

BUT....did I only missed the text or is it only these 5 GTR's on the track?
I thought that as many as possible to go the parade.
Well let's see how it turns out.

Once again I have to say; Fortunately I saw #01R in MM....

@ M.S.O.
Are the cars on display before and during the race(week)?
Or kept in a trailer and rolled out just before their parade lap?

Re: Mclaren at Le Mans 2015

And what about #07R? Will it be an orange still in Le Mans parade or will it have Jacadi livery back to the event?
And really, only 5 GTR's in the Parade then? Where are the others?

Unless they wrap it in a hurry #07R will probably still be Papaya
