Team RJN will contest the full 2026 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, running the #23 McLaren 720S GT3 Evo in the Silver Cup. Ben Dörr, Horatio Fitz-Simon and Max Lynn will share the car across all five rounds, including the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
It puts a British team with more than 25 years of racing behind it on one of the most competitive GT3 grids in the world, with a young line-up built to fight for Silver Cup podiums from the opening round.

The line-up
Ben Dörr returns for his second season with the team, having raced the #23 in the Gold Cup in 2025. The 21-year-old German came through karting as a two-time Rotax Max Challenge Germany junior champion, finished runner-up in ADAC GT4 Germany in 2022 and made his DTM debut in a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo in 2024, the same year he was named a McLaren Junior Pro driver. He is also a two-time class winner at the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
Horatio Fitz-Simon makes his GT3 debut. Born in Towcester, a few miles from Silverstone, and raised in California, he raced karts as a factory Team PSL driver and joined the US National Team at 13. After school he moved back to the UK to race full time and quickly made his name in historic racing.
Max Lynn also steps up to GT3 after coming through historic racing, where he shares cars with his father Shaun. Together they won the Pre-66 GT race for the RAC Pall Mall Cup at the 2025 Donington Historic Festival. Max starts his 2026 season at the 24H Series Middle East before joining Team RJN for the Endurance Cup.
All three drivers are rated Silver by the FIA, which puts the #23 in the Silver Cup, the class for rising drivers competing for their own podiums and title alongside the outright battle.

Built for endurance
Long-distance racing runs through Team RJN's history. The team took a class win at Spa in 2011, won the Bathurst 12 Hour outright in 2015 and finished on the class podium at the 24 Hours of Spa in 2024. Along the way it has run Formula 1 drivers, touring car champions and a generation of GT Academy graduates who went on to professional careers.
The 2026 programme continues that story: a proven McLaren, a team that knows how to go the distance, and three drivers ready to prove themselves at the top level.
