McLaren is gearing up for its next major endurance challenge, the Total 24 Hours of Spa. Nine examples of the McLaren 12C GT3 race cars will line up on the grid of the Spa Francorchamps next weekend to battle it out with the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Corvette for the ultimate glory. Spa is one of the most demanding race tracks in the world, but McLaren lads seem ready. At least that’s what this trailer conveys.

In this video McLaren GT ‘works’ driver Rob Bell previews the challenging 4.35 mile (7.004km) Spa-Francorchamps circuit, highlighting the challenges facing the teams and what it is that makes the 24 hours of Spa so appealing.

The 12C GT3 is based on the new MP4-12C high-performance sports car and a team of engineers, designers and test drivers with vast experience in Formula 1 and GT racing has been assembled to undertake the process of adapting the carbon chassis-based 12C to racing specification.
