The all new Mclaren MP4-12C GT3 race car has been competing at a high standard in the development year for the car. Making a great showing for itself in the Spa 24hr and appearances in the British GT championship, ready for it's 2012 appearance in the Blancpain Endurance Series with customer teams.
However I think Mclaren are missing a trick. Why don't they run a full works program, their knowledge of racing and technical ability within the Mclaren group are unrelieved. Even if this was just a one-off for the Le Mans 24hr. Surely they could use more of there resources to, seeing as the 24hr race and the F1 calendar do not clash in 2012 an appearance by Lewis,Jenson, Paffet or De La Rosa would really add weight. This will create huge interest for the Woking based squad and would be covered closely worldwide.
I don't want to take anything away from the customer squads who will be running the car from 2012 but I just can't help but feel a works entrance would be amazing, further adding to the spectacle of the 24hrs of Le Mans.
If I ever manage to come across Ron Dennis at any point I would love to but this to him.
