McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown will try to channel his inner Lando Norris / Daniel Ricciardo when he heads to Zandvoort from June 18-20 to compete in the GT4 European Series.
Brown, better known for his historic racing accomplishments, will saddle a McLaren 570S operated by his own United Autosports team, with his team’s co-owner Richard Dean riding on a one-off foray into the series. Brown has previously driven McLaren GT machines in the Blancpain Endurance Series and the British GT Championship.

“I’m really excited to get back behind the wheel of a racing car at Zandvoort,” said Brown, whose McLaren F1 team is currently third in the constructors’ championship and has two podiums so far this season.
