McLaren GT’s “Young Driver” Ross Wylie will compete in the 2015 British GT Championship with Von Ryan Racing.

The 23-year-old from Thornhill will race a McLaren 650S GT3 sports car with Andrew Watson in the seven-event series that begins at Oulton Park on Easter Monday.

Wylie, who won the GT4 class in the prestigious British series at his first attempt last year, was announced by McLaren GT as a member of its “Young Driver” programme in January.

Von Ryan Racing has been a McLaren GT customer team since forming in 2011, and has campaigned the 12C GT3 in a variety of events for the past three seasons, while also building a reputation as one of the most professional teams competing in GT racing.
