BankPro Announces Partnership with McLaren Endurance Racing Team in the FIA World Endurance Championship
BankPro has announced an official partnership with the McLaren WEC Hypercar Team—McLaren’s factory entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)—aligning with McLaren Racing’s ambitious return to the pinnacle of endurance motorsport.
The collaboration unites two organizations driven by high performance, innovation, and precision—values deeply embedded in both BankPro’s digital banking vision and McLaren’s racing DNA. As McLaren embarks on a new chapter in endurance racing, BankPro is supporting a program that fuses legendary heritage with cutting-edge engineering and a bold future outlook.
Forged at Le Mans, Shaped by Endurance
McLaren’s endurance racing legacy is defined by iconic moments—none more legendary than its debut victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Now, the brand is writing a new, decisive chapter in that story.
McLaren’s all-new hypercar will compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship starting in 2027, marking the marque’s full-scale return to global endurance racing under a clear “performance-first” philosophy.
“As we build momentum ahead of our WEC debut next year, we’re delighted to welcome BankPro as an official partner alongside a group of industry-leading collaborators,” said Matt Dennington, Co-Chief Commercial Officer at McLaren Racing.
Paolo Broccardo, CEO of BankPro, added: “This partnership reflects everything BankPro stands for. Endurance racing is about precision, resilience, and sustained excellence at the highest level—principles that directly inform how we design our digital banking and merger solutions. Supporting McLaren’s return to the summit of endurance racing isn’t just about track performance; it’s about championing a long-term vision powered by innovation, discipline, and excellence.”
