Greystone GT has confirmed plans to contest the full 2026 season of the GT World Challenge (GTWC) Europe Endurance Cup with a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo. The British outfit will compete in the Silver Cup class, marking a significant expansion after making its series debut at last year’s finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The team will field an all-Junior line-up drawn from the McLaren GT3 development pathway. Jayden Kelly, Josh Rattican and Tommy Pintos will share driving duties across the season, with each driver already familiar with the Silverstone-based squad.
Proven winners form core line-up as Greystone GT takes on 2026 GTWC Europe Endurance Cup
Kelly arrives as the reigning McLaren Trophy Europe champion, having secured last year’s title with Greystone GT. The Australian also featured in the team’s maiden GT World appearance at Barcelona and gained additional GT3 mileage in the International GT Open.
Rattican partnered Kelly in those GT3 outings and now prepares for his GT World debut. The 21-year-old already commands respect in the paddock after winning the GT4 European Series title in 2024 and adding further race victories last season.
Pintos completes the full-season trio. The Spaniard won the inaugural McLaren Trophy Europe title in the Artura class and later finished as Pro class runner-up in McLaren Trophy America in 2025. Therefore, like Rattican, he will make his debut in the Endurance Cup this year.
For the blue-riband CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, Greystone GT will add Zac Meakin to its line-up. Meakin competed in the team’s Barcelona debut and won the British GT GT4 title in 2024 at the wheel of a McLaren Artura. The 19-year-old strengthens the squad for the championship’s most demanding event.
Greystone GT outlines clear ambition for 2026
Team boss Mark McLoughlin outlined the scale of the project. “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.”
Rob Bell, former Endurance Cup champion and now McLaren Sporting Director, 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.”
Thus, with a unified Junior line-up and clear Silver Cup ambitions, Greystone GT now prepares to establish itself as a serious contender in 2026.
