🏁 LOCLAN’S FIRST TASTE OF GT3 🏁
Yesterday was a pretty special day for Loclan and for us as parents to stand back and watch.
After seeing Loclan compete in GT4 last year, Volante Rosso Motorsport team owner Josh Hunt reached out and invited him to take part in a full evaluation day in their McLaren GT3.
This wasn’t just about outright speed. Loclan was evaluated on the complete package — speed, consistency, technique, composure, communication, technical feedback, coachability and overall potential.
One of the best parts for us was seeing how much he has grown and matured as a driver — working with the engineers, taking feedback onboard and communicating what the car was doing.
As for the McLaren GT3, Loclan summed it up perfectly:
“It’s like a GT4 on steroids.” 😂🔥
More aero, more braking, more horsepower — an absolutely unreal machine.
Not many young drivers get the opportunity to race a GT4, let alone step into a GT3 — the pinnacle of GT racing worldwide.
The feedback afterwards from Josh made us even prouder:
“He did really well. There was a lot to learn and he did a mega job. He should be proud.”
Loclan’s data, reports and onboard footage will now be shared with McLaren in the UK for further evaluation, with potential future opportunities both here in Australia and overseas, including endurance racing.
Nothing is guaranteed, but yesterday was another massive step forward.
Watch this space… 👀🏁
Big things ahead for Loclan.
And last but definitely not least, this opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of our sponsors. A massive thank you to TWA, Connetra, and MFHM Group Group for helping make days like this possible. 🙏🏁
