#10 McLaren GT3 EVO: Au, Fleming and Kirchhöfer

The 2024-25 Asian Le Mans GT Champion, Antares Au (HKG) will lead the charge in the #10 McLaren, where he will be joined by Thomas Fleming (GBR), whose stellar performances this year were rewarded with an invitation to the FIA WEC end-of-season Rookie Test. Antares and Tom will be joined by McLaren factory driver and Garage 59 regular, Marvin Kirchhöfer (DEU).

“I’m excited for this new chapter as I have wanted to compete in WEC for a long time,” said Kirchhöfer. “We’ve had a great year in GT World Challenge, celebrating a few wins and a few pole positions, and this really motivates me to keep that momentum going into the new season of WEC. I must give great credit to the team as everyone has worked so hard this year and it was been a pleasure to be part of the Garage 59 story. I hope we can continue to celebrate together. We have lots of new challenges coming our way, in fact this will be my first Le Mans, and I cannot wait to get started with Tom and Antares.”

#58 McLaren GT3 EVO: West, Gehrsitz and Goethe

Long-time Garage 59 racer and team owner Alexander West (SWE) will compete in the sister McLaren, which will race as #58, a number that has served the team well throughout its history. The WEC programme will also see West return to Le Mans where has already competed on two occasions, once with Garage 59.

Joining West in the #58 is Finn Gehrsitz (DEU), a rising star of the GT world who took the #78 Akkodis ASP Lexus to pole position on two occasions in WEC this year.  Completing the line-up is Benji Goethe (DEU), a McLaren factory driver who has raced with Garage 59 since 2022 and delivered standout performances this year with outright GT World Challenge victories. 

“Taking Garage 59 into the FIA World Endurance Championship is a milestone moment for everyone involved in the team,” said West. “We’ve built this team step-by-step over many years, and the opportunity to return to the world stage, particularly at events like Le Mans, is something we’ve all been working towards. Running the #58 carries real meaning for us, and I’m proud to drive it into this next chapter alongside Benji and Finn. There’s a huge challenge ahead, but we feel ready, motivated and excited to get started.”
