AutoWeek: McLaren MP4-12C race car to appear in 2012 
"The McLaren M4-12C supercar should hit the racetrack for the first time in 2012. The British manufacturer, whose turbocharged V8-powered Ferrari rival goes on sale next year, is set to announce an agreement with the British CRS Racing team to build competition versions of the car. A GT3 contender is being developed for 2012, while a GT2-spec car could race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2013.
AutoWeek understands that the design of the GT3 contender is under way at the McLaren Technology Center near London and, if a deal is concluded, that the MP4-12Cs will be upgraded into racers at CRS's workshops near the Donington Park circuit.
A run of 15 GT3-spec McLarens is thought to be planned for 2012, with the first development cars likely to take part in some races at the end of next season. A smaller run is planned for the GT2-specification MP4-12C racer."
