Inside McLaren’s NEW $30M Racing Center

McLaren doesn’t just want to win in Formula 1, they want to leave their mark on the racing world. And doing so requires dominating EVERY series they compete in. But how do you build a global legacy if not everyone on the team is operating on equal footing? And does investing $30M to achieve it really make a difference? For Zak Brown and Tony Kanaan, it absolutely does. We went inside the brand-new McLaren Racing Center with Zak Brown, Tony Kanaan, and Arrow McLaren leadership to see how a multi-million dollar, six-month renovation completely rewrites the script for the IndyCar team as well as McLaren Racing as a whole. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to bring the "MTC Standard" from the UK to North America, bridging the gap between Formula 1, WEC, and IndyCar to create one unified Papaya Army. Now, Arrow McLaren has gone from lacking internet and building office chairs by hand to having everything it needs to bring the fight to teams like Chip Ganassi and Andretti for Indy 500 trophies and Drivers’ Championship titles. And for Zak Brown, McLaren has everything it needs to write its legacy into history books wherever papaya touches pavement.
