Inside the McLaren 720S GT3X with Derick Lee | C&O Podcast Ep. 14

Only 15 were built worldwide — and one is here at Caffeine & Octane. In Episode 14 of the Caffeine & Octane Podcast, host Grant Van Brewer sits down with Derick Lee of Sector 32 Motorsports to talk McLaren, the evolution of Sector 32, and one of the rarest track-focused McLarens ever produced: the 720S GT3X. Derick and Grant go back nearly a decade through the McLaren world, from their time working with the brand in Atlanta to visiting McLaren’s headquarters in Woking. Now, they’re taking a closer look at a machine most enthusiasts will never have the opportunity to see in person. The McLaren 720S GT3X is a track-only monster built without the restrictions of a racing series. Derick breaks down what separates the GT3X from the standard 720S GT3, the engineering and aerodynamics behind it, and what it’s actually like when you unleash it on track. They also dive into the collaboration between Sector 32 Motorsports, Atlanta Custom Wraps and HP Tuners, plus the story behind this particular GT3X and its connection to the wider McLaren world. 🏁 In this episode: • The story behind Sector 32 Motorsports • Derick’s years as a Master McLaren Technician • Grant & Derick’s trip to McLaren in Woking • Inside the ultra-rare McLaren 720S GT3X • What makes the GT3X different from a standard GT3 • The engineering and aerodynamics behind the car • The GT3X on track at Atlanta Motorsports Park • McLaren ownership and the Atlanta McLaren community • Derick’s picks for the greatest and most underrated McLarens Caffeine & Octane is America’s largest monthly car show, happening the first Sunday of every month at Town Center at Cobb in Kennesaw, Georgia.
