About McLaren Trophy
McLaren Trophy, Europe is McLaren’s successful single-make championship, where drivers race identical cars, putting the focus on pure driving skill. In 2025, McLaren Trophy, Europe debuts an exhilarating new racing car: The Artura Trophy Evo. With 585PS, enhanced aerodynamics and wider tyres, the Artura Trophy Evo is astonishingly quick in a straight line and confidence-inspiring in the corners.
The Artura Trophy Evo debuts Push-to-Pass technology to inject further excitement into the races as teams engage strategy and deploy the additional power - up to 620PS - for an all-out attack or critical defence. McLaren Trophy, Europe will feature a 10-race championship, across five weekends, at some of Europe’s most iconic racetracks. Drivers will enjoy just under five hours of track time on each weekend, which culminate in two 50-minute action-packed races.
New for 2025 is the inclusion of a Pro category for Silver drivers, and the introduction of the McLaren Trophy Academy, where young Silver drivers will benefit from the expertise of McLaren Motorsport to further develop and hone their skills. All ten races are live streamed across the McLaren YouTube channel to tens of thousands of fans. State-of-the-art facilities - inspired by the McLaren Formula One team - offer the chance to experience what it means to be a McLaren racing driver.
About Greystone GT
Greystone GT was created in 2016 by single-seater racing champion and former Business Manager of McLaren GT, Mark McLoughlin. Drawing experience from decades of success in the highest level of GT motorsport, our team of engineers and support staff has, since 2021, competed and won in some of the most prestigious GT series in the UK and Europe.
The past four seasons have featured incredible growth by the Silverstone based team with maiden championship successes and regular race wins, meaning podium finishes have now been achieved in every series Greystone GT has competed in. A maiden international victory was achieved in the GT4 class of the Gulf 12 Hours – the Middle-East’s most prestigious international GT race – in 2022 and this was followed by a first major title with the McLaren Trophy Europe Teams’ Championship in ’23.
In 2024 the team continued to build on those achievements by winning the McLaren Trophy Europe 570S Trophy Drivers’ title in dominant fashion and scoring a first outright victory in the International GT Open at the biggest race of the year, the “Monza 500”. Class pole positions and podiums were achieved in the ultra-competitive GT4 European Series by the Greystone GT-run RAFA Racing Team while a maiden Gulf Procar Series campaign resulted in the runner-up spot in the points table as well as several race wins.
This year Greystone GT enters three major GT racing series including British GT and the International GT Open where the team opened their campaign with a dominant overall victory in Round 1 at Portimão last weekend with their McLaren 720S GT3 Evo. In the prestigious McLaren Trophy, Greystone GT enters with five cars including two in the new-for-2025 Pro Class.
