A really good piece here from DSC on the current GT3 hopes. Looks like the ACO is (thankfully) trying to get the grid sizes up to allow more people to enter.

Some good nuggets in here - including United Autosports being the frontrunners for a prospective McLaren GT3 entry.
Increasing the grid size is a no-brainer - finally the series is cracking under the 'GT3-high-demand-pressure'!

It still very much remains to be seen whether McLaren will be granted a (double) entry to begin with. As obvious as the United-McLaren ties are, when was the last time the team ran in GT3? And successful? Plus add in the very short preparation time before the 2024 season starts. To me, it doesn't have the ring of a slam dunk to it, especially not considering the fact the likes of Manthey and AF Corse are some of the competing factory reps.
