Looking ahead to a highly anticipated era in top-class endurance racing, Alex Lynn is set to leave Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA at the conclusion of the 2026 season. The British driver will officially join McLaren’s brand-new Hypercar programme, marking a major milestone as the legendary British manufacturer prepares for its triumphant return to the top tier of the World Endurance Championship in 2027.
McLaren Racing has officially confirmed Lynn as its third announced driver for the upcoming 2027 FIA WEC campaign. He will be teaming up with Mikkel Jensen and Laurens Vanthoor as part of the outfit's newly minted MCL-HY project. This high-profile move arrives as the team ramps up its intensive preparations, utilizing Lynn's extensive expertise to accelerate development and build a competitive challenger for the global series.
The 33-year-old comes equipped with an elite endurance racing CV, having captured four Hypercar pole positions with Cadillac, most notably at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025. Furthermore, he instrumentalized Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA's historic maiden WEC victory with the V-Series.R at Sao Paulo, adding to a glittering career highlighted by a Le Mans LMGTE Pro class triumph in 2020, dual victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the 2023 European Le Mans Series LMP2 crown.
Securing Lynn’s signature represents a massive boost for McLaren's technical framework, introducing proven pace, acute engineering feedback, and deep familiarity with the current Hypercar landscape. With the organization setting high sights on immediate success upon returning to the premier category, Lynn shares identical ambitions: fighting fiercely for a world championship and conquering Le Mans under the iconic British banner.
"I couldn’t be more driven towards winning a world title and taking victory at Le Mans for the most iconic racing brand in the world," Lynn stated. Prior to embarking on this exciting chapter in McLaren’s much-hyped endurance venture, his immediate concentration remains firmly locked on finishing out the 2026 campaign strongly with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA.
