2026 ENTRY: Greystone GT commits to Endurance Cup assault with trio of McLaren juniors

Greystone GT has announced plans to run the full GT World Endurance Cup season with a a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo.

The British squad made its series debut in last year's finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and will now embark on full-scale assault in the Silver Cup class. The car will be shared by a trio of McLaren GT3 Junior Drivers – Jayden Kelly, Josh Rattican and Tommy Pintos – all of whom have previous experience with the Silverstone-based outfit.  

Kelly won last year's McLaren Trophy Europe title with Greystone GT and was part of the line-up for the team's maiden outing at Barcelona (below). The Australian also made a handful of GT3 outings for Greystone in the International GT Open. 

His teammate for those events was Rattican, who is set to make his GT World debut this term. The 21-year-old is already a familiar face in the paddock having won the GT4 European Series title in 2024, and was a race-winner again last term.

Their full-season crew is completed by Tommy Pintos, who won the inaugural McLaren Trophy Europe title in the Artura class. The young Spaniard has since raced in McLaren Trophy America, finishing as Pro class runner-up in 2025. Like Rattican, Pintos will make his GT World debut this year.

The team has also announced its fourth driver for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. Zac Meakin – who was part of Greystone's debut line-up at Barcelona – will join his fellow McLaren GT3 Junior Drivers for the marquee event. The 19-year-old won the British GT GT4 title at the wheel of a McLaren Artura in 2024. 

“This represents a huge step forward for Greystone GT," commented team boss Mark McLoughlin. "To field a full-season Silver-class programme 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.”

Former Endurance Cup champion and now McLaren Sporting Director Rob Bell added: “It’s great that Greystone GT will be running a driver line-up of our GT3 Junior drivers. It’s proof that there is a career ladder for young drivers racing within the McLaren Trophy series, as well as GT4, and that they can progress.

"Jayden, Tommy, Josh and Zac are all championship-winning drivers in our cars, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they get on in a field as competitive as the GT World Endurance Cup.”

The 2026 GT World season gets underway at Circuit Paul Ricard on the weekend of 11/12 April, preceded by the official Prologue on 8/9 April. Tickets for this and several other events – including the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa – are on sale now. Click here for more information.
