McLaren Automotive is a British maker of luxury high-performance supercars that deliver the most thrilling driving experiences. Innovation is at the core of what we do, using pioneering technology and processes.

The McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) is located on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in the Sheffield City Region which is the ideal location for its first purpose-built facility outside of its Woking, Surrey campus.

The MCTC taps into the region’s extensive materials expertise, skills, university resources and dynamism to help us continue to innovate quickly and to create world-leading solutions that allow us to launch the lightest supercars built that helps improve both the driving experience and increases energy efficiency.

We are proud to be in Sheffield Region which has a long association with advanced materials; first with steel and now a future to look forward to with composite materials innovation and production for McLaren Automotive.

At MCTC we provide an extensive STEM programme reaching out across the region and understand that investing in future talent and skills development is essential for the future of the automotive and broader engineering industries.

That is why we are committed to supporting initiatives that encourage young people to pursue careers in these fields locally, making the Sheffield Grand Prix Event a superb opportunity to interact.

Look out for McLaren in front of the Town Hall as our McLaren STEM ambassadors will be out with a McLaren 765LT supercar – which includes carbon fibre parts made here in the Sheffield area – on display and on hand to talk about careers, apprenticeships and science and maths-based careers.

We are delighted to be invited back for a second year, this year we will be sponsoring the Women’s Grand Prix Race.

We wish all competitors the best of luck in the race.
