McLaren's plans for a WEC entry are still 'under review', but Zak Brown insists the team is not ready to expand its diversified racing portfolio.
The Woking outfit has expanded its racing operations considerably in recent years after fresh investment over the previous two years, starting with it taking a majority shareholding in the Schmidt Peterson Racing IndyCar team ahead of the 2020 season - which now races as Arrow McLaren.
Asked by Motorsport.com if there was the prospect of further growth into other categories, Brown added that although McLaren continues to do its due diligence on the prospect of a WEC entry, it would need to balance with the current teams it has. "We've expanded now to three cars in IndyCar on a full-time basis. We've just had our first year in Extreme E, which was successful for us, and we achieved a podium [at Punta del Este]. And now here we are in Mexico for our first Formula E race.
He explained that Formula E's own budget cap, which is approximately €13 million per year between 2022 and 2024, was also valuable in enticing McLaren to the all-electric championship.
