McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown says the company could not miss out on the chance to take over a title-winning Formula E team.

As part of McLaren’s efforts to expand its portfolio of racing series, Formula E had been on the agenda for quite some time.

But no more weighing up an entry, McLaren has now confirmed that it will be entering the all-electric series as of the 2022-23 season, the same campaign that will see the introduction of the ‘Gen 3’ car.

But while McLaren will be a new name on the Formula E grid, there will be a very familiar feel to the team.
