Rev up Your Engines for the Thrilling One-Make McLaren Artura Race Series in America!
The excitement is revving up as McLaren announces the launch of the McLaren Trophy America championship in 2025, featuring the new McLaren Artura Trophy race cars. These race cars boast a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine with 577 horsepower and are designed to cater to both amateur and professional drivers alike. We had the exclusive opportunity to ride shotgun in one of these race cars at the Las Vegas Speedway road course, giving us an adrenaline-fueled taste of what's to come.
Amateurs Welcome, Pros Too
The Artura Trophy car comes with increased downforce, a revised exhaust system, and features that allow for easy conversion to meet GT4 racing standards. With two main categories, the Artura Trophy and the 570S Trophy, and split categories for Amateur and Pro-Am drivers, this series promises competitive racing and an exciting opportunity for aspiring professional drivers.
How The One-Make Series Works
The McLaren Artura Trophy series will consist of 10 races across five weekends, with each event featuring two fifty-minute races. The series is designed to provide intense competition for drivers while offering fans a front-row seat to thrilling races, with the Artura Trophy car capable of delivering lap times that rival GT3 cars.
Riding Shotgun: An Intense Experience
Riding in the Artura Trophy race car was a heart-pounding experience, from the snug fit of the cockpit to the raw power unleashed on the track. The sheer speed, precision braking, and cornering abilities of the race car make it a true beast on wheels, offering a stark contrast to its road-going counterparts.
Free-To-Watch Streaming
For motorsport fans around the world, McLaren will be streaming the races on their YouTube channel, allowing enthusiasts to witness the adrenaline-pumping action from the comfort of their homes. While the cost to run a team in the series may be higher in the US compared to Europe, the thrill of watching these high-performance machines in action promises to be a captivating experience for all.
