McLaren Racing has announced a significant expansion of its long-standing high-performance partnership with Deloitte, broadening the collaboration across multiple racing programmes and reinforcing Deloitte’s role as a strategic transformation partner to the organisation.
As part of the expanded agreement, Deloitte becomes the official transformation partner across McLaren Racing’s global portfolio. The partnership will support McLaren’s Formula 1 team, Arrow McLaren in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and McLaren’s forthcoming entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2027.
The enhanced collaboration is centred on strengthening McLaren’s data-led decision-making capabilities. Deloitte will work closely with the racing teams to transform large volumes of performance and operational data into actionable insights, informing race strategy, simulation modelling and long-term performance planning across championships.
Deloitte’s remit also includes supporting McLaren’s digital transformation, with a focus on optimising data architecture, cloud-enabled platforms and advanced simulation environments. The aim is to improve the speed, accuracy and consistency of decision-making in high-pressure race scenarios, while enabling the transfer of insights and best practices across different racing programmes.
Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Racing, said, “Deloitte has been a hugely valued partner for many years. Their expertise in data, technology and transformation has played a meaningful role in our return to the front of the grid, and I’m delighted to expand the partnership across our other racing series, where Deloitte’s support will continue to help us accelerate innovation throughout the organisation.”
Jason Girzadas, Chief Executive Officer, Deloitte US, added, “We’re excited to be expanding this relationship in the U.S. High performance in business and on the track comes from combining ambition and innovation with disciplined execution. McLaren Racing exemplifies that mindset, and we’re proud to work together to apply technology, data and insight to help them drive new levels of performance and growth.”
Richard Houston, Chief Executive Officer, Deloitte UK, continued, “We’re proud of the work we’ve done with McLaren Racing and the role it has played in their success. As the relationship expands into new markets and racing series, we will continue working with McLaren to push the boundaries of performance and unlock new opportunities.”
The partnership expansion aligns with McLaren Racing’s wider strategy to operate as a technology-driven, data-led organisation at a time when cost controls, marginal performance gains and operational efficiency are increasingly critical to success. For Deloitte, the collaboration provides a real-world, high-intensity environment in which to apply and refine advanced business, technology and human performance solutions.
By extending their collaboration across multiple global racing series, McLaren Racing and Deloitte aim to develop a scalable and repeatable high-performance model that delivers competitive advantage on track while setting benchmarks for innovation and operational excellence across international motorsport.
