MP4-12C racing

United Autosport have pulled their McLarens from Spa to concentrate on next year. UA's Richard Dean has made a very interesting comment to dailysportscar.

"We have had some pretty unrepresentative results so far this year and with some exciting plans already coming together for 2013 with McLaren we believe the better and more constructive option right now with our available resource is to put together and undertake a programme to help develop the cars rather than running them in a 24 hour race."

Now what exciting plan next year with McLaren can that be? Its got to be the GT-E car. Nothing else would really fit. If they were continuing on with the GT3 car next year it wouldnt make sense of them to pull out of Spa because they could use Spa as a giant test session. Exciting times ahead.

And here is a video made by McLaren ahead of the Spa race with factory driver Rob Bell.
