MP4-12C AND McLAREN FORMULA 1 STARS LEAD THE PACK AT GOODWOOD

McLaren's Formula 1™ duo thrilled record crowds at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed by leading the glamorous ‘Supercar Run’ with our new flagship supercar the MP4-12C and the race specification MP4-12C GT3.

To mark the 12C GT3’s world dynamic debut, 2009 FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ Champion Jenson Button piloted the new race car on Saturday 02 July, leading the second ‘Supercar Run’ of the day, with McLaren Automotive Managing Director Antony Sheriff close behind in a stunning Volcano Orange 12C road car.



On Sunday 03 July, 2008 FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton took his place behind the wheel of the 12C GT3 as McLaren Automotive Chief Test Driver Chris Goodwin chased him up the famous Goodwood hill in the 12C road car.

McLaren Automotive Director Antony Sheriff said ““I was incredibly proud to represent McLaren at Goodwood this year. The new 12C GT3 was a constant focus of attention and it was great to see Jenson and Lewis delighting the crowds. The festival comes at an exciting time for McLaren Automotive… very soon our customers will begin taking delivery of their own MP4-12Cs - It really feels now that our car company is taking shape.”
