The International GT Open is ready to resume after the summer break and is gearing up for a very strong end of the season, with many new entries ready to join from the next round at the Red Bull Ring in less than two weeks.
The first one concerns Greystone GT, which is doubling its presence for the last three rounds by fielding a second McLaren 720S for a pair of young talents, Jayden Kelly and Josh Rattican.
Jayden Kelly (19), from Australia, is currently leading the Pro category in the McLaren Trophy Europe series, while Britain’s Josh Rattican (21) is the 2024 GT4 European Series Silver champion and part of the McLaren Factory programme as a McLaren Graduate Driver.
Mark McLoughlin, Greystone GT Team Owner, commented: “Jayden and Josh make a very strong pairing. We’re thrilled to bring them together for the final three rounds of the International GT Open and proud to support them as they continue their development as top-level GT racers. Their combination is a perfect complement to our existing Pro programme, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this line-up can achieve in the final stretch of the season.”
Jayden Kelly said: “I cannot wait to get behind the wheel of the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO for my first GT3 race weekend in Austria! This has been something we’ve been working towards, and I’m extremely grateful to the team at Greystone GT for the opportunity. We’ll be looking to carry the momentum forward from our McLaren Trophy Europe campaign – I can’t wait to get started.”
Josh Rattican added: “Joining forces with Jayden for these final GT Open rounds is a great step forward. We’ve both had strong seasons so far, and I’m confident we’ll work well together in the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO. It’s a fantastic opportunity to build experience at the highest level, and I’m fully focused on making the most of it with Greystone GT.”
