The squad that was once Woking&#8217;s signature factory team in the GT3 class has raced Aston Martin vehicles for the past three years. <strong>The first step of this reunion<\/strong> between the formation that took its name from the 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours winner McLaren F1 GTR and the British manufacturer<strong> will take place in February at the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS)<\/strong>.  In the ACO-managed category, Garage 59 will line up two McLaren 720S GT3s, the same vehicles that it will later use in its European program. <strong>The team is expected to be able to return to the GT World Challenge<\/strong> after competing in the SRO Motorsports competition in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew Kirkaldy<\/strong>, Team Principal Garage 59, has shown his satisfaction at competing with McLaren again in 2022: \u00ab<strong>The McLaren 720S GT3 showed its level throughout the past year<\/strong>, so we are eager to know its benefits and compete with the car in the new season.<strong> A 720S GT3 that has been developed by CRS GT, a company linked to Garage 59<\/strong>, under license from McLaren Automotive.  A sample of the enormous bond that exists between the Kirkaldy team and McLaren and that goes back even to the development of the McLaren MP4-12C GT3, a vehicle that had the same protagonists in its development.  With everything, <strong>McLaren Automotive took over the development of its current GT3 internally after breaking its relationship with Garage 59 and CRS GT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"noticia-relacionada\"><span class=\"imagen\"><\/span><span class=\"textos\"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"titulo\">Vincent Vosse: \u00abValentino Rossi will also be competitive with a GT3\u00bb<\/h4>\n<footer><span>Read news<\/span><span class=\"icono\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M8.59,16.58L13.17,12L8.59,7.41L10,6L16,12L10,18L8.59,16.58Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/footer>\n<p><\/span><\/aside>\n<p>For the moment, <strong>the team has only ensured its presence in the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS)<\/strong> with a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor.es\/mclaren\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">McLaren 720S GT3, although it has not yet revealed its driver line-up and the rest of the programs that it will assume during the 2022 season.
