Greystone GT has announced plans to contest a full GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup season with a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo.

The British outfit steps up to a full-season attack after a one-off appearance in the final round of the 2025 campaign at Barcelona, entering the Silver Cup class with a trio of McLaren junior drivers: Jayden Kelly, Josh Rattican and Tommy Pintos.

Kelly was part of the lineup that contested last year’s Barcelona round together with Zac Meakin and Michael O’Brien, the trio finishing 24th.

Meakin will reinforce the lineup for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

Kelly makes the step up to GTWC Europe after winning last year’s McLaren Trophy Europe title alongside O’Brien, while Pintos moves across from the McLaren Trophy America series in which he finished as runner-up last year.

Rattican, meanwhile, won the 2024 GT4 European Series title at the wheel of a McLaren Artura GT4 and also contested three rounds of last year’s International GT Open series in a 720s GT3 Evo together with Kelly.

“This represents a huge step forward for Greystone GT,” commented team boss Mark McLoughlin.

“To field a full-season Silver class program with four McLaren GT3 junior drivers is something very special and speaks volumes about the direction of our team.

“Each driver brings proven success, but more importantly, they share a common background within the McLaren racing pathway.

“Our objective for 2026 is clear: to be competitive at every round and to establish Greystone GT as a genuine force in the GT World Endurance Cup.”
