Alex Lynn joins McLaren Hypercar project for 2027

Alex Lynn will join McLaren’s Hypercar programme for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship. The British manufacturer confirmed the move on 15 October, with Lynn leaving Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA at the end of the current season. He becomes McLaren’s third confirmed driver after Mikkel Jensen and Laurens Vanthoor. The announcement adds another established name as the team prepares to return to the leading category of endurance racing. The agreement concerns next season rather than an immediate switch into a McLaren race car during the current WEC campaign.
