McLaren Racing
Since its foundation in 1966, the McLaren Formula 1 team has become one of the most successful and groundbreaking teams in grand prix motor racing. McLaren Racing is the nerve-centre of the racing operation, housing the extensive design office, 60-per-cent-scale windtunnel, manufacturing plant, fabrication facilities and build stations that dovetail together to create some of the most iconic Formula 1 cars in the sport’s history.
The McLaren Formula 1 team has won four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships (1988-1991) and secured eight Constructors' World Championship titles, the first of which was in 1974. Today, the team has a record 12 Drivers' World Championship titles and eight Constructors' World Championships.

McLaren Automotive
When Group chairman Ron Dennis outlined his vision for McLaren’s longevity and long-term future success, he envisioned a specialised hi-tech automotive production plant as central to that vision. As a result, McLaren Automotive quickly established itself as a worldwide brand, producing two supremely iconic vehicles – the McLaren F1 supercar and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. With the new MP4-12C, McLaren Automotive once again aims to raise the benchmark in automotive design.
