The new +McLaren Automotive MP4-12C GT3 will be hitting race tracks all over the world this year with 25 examples participating in a number of different series.
It will be interesting to see if the teams can replicate the success of the F1 GTR which took the GT ranks by storm in 1995 and took an overall victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1_GTR with a car that had surprisingly minimal modifications from the road car. The 12C won't be running at Le Sarthe in June of this year but come 2013, who knows?

I know I'm not alone when I say the McLaren F1 was my favorite production car. The middle seat was freakin' sweet.
The F1 was definitely one of my favorites of all time. Gordon Murray is a genius, creating a car that is both minimal and sophisticated at the same time. Function over form and yet Peter Stevens' body was gorgeous and stands the test of time.
