McLaren brings its celebrated racing pedigree to The Quail.
The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, is one of the most anticipated events on the automotive calendar. It showcases some of the rarest, most coveted, and most monumental cars in automotive history and features plenty of reveals of new hypercars at the industry’s highest echelon. However, McLaren is using the prestigious event as a venue for a special celebration. As a manufacturer with roots in racing and a pedigree built on the track, McLaren is celebrating 50 years since it won its first Formula 1 World Championship.
Only a decade after the brand was born in 1963, McLaren won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1974 with Brazilian driver Emerson Fittipaldi. McLaren would go on to win eight Constructor’s Championships in total and 12 Driver’s titles. At The Quail, Fittipaldi’s winning McLaren M23 Formula 1 car will be on display. The M23 won 16 Grands Prix in total. As another incredible celebration of McLaren’s proud racing history, one of just six McLaren 750S 3-7-59 Editions will be on display with the F1 car.
Completing McLaren’s commemorative presence at The Quail will be an homage to one of the most essential names in McLaren’s history, Ayrton Senna. 30 years after his passing, a special livery for McLaren’s F1 cars and a one-off version of the McLaren Senna, named after the legendary late driver, were revealed at the Monaco Grand Prix. With decades of rich racing history, McLaren’s presence at The Quail will help put the “motorsport” in “A Motorsport Gathering.”
