I think that is exactly Mclarens issue- resources

The lower level of support on track and potentially lower reliability are big factors

As it stands there are 5x 720s GT3’s for sale on Racecars Direct:

1x Balfe
2x 2 Seas
2x 59 Racing

Not great but I do remember the same happening with the 650s and MP12C
