The Opportunity

NOT A STICKER.
A PLATFORM.

Function Factory Performance is entering the McLaren Trophy America championship — a factory-backed, single-make race series featuring the 620PS McLaren Artura Trophy EVO on North America's most legendary circuits. In 2026, we develop the program — private testing at Podium Club and regional circuits, mastering the car we own and building the team. In 2027, we take it racing. We own the car. We run the team. We service McLarens at factory level.

The series has already secured what most racing programs chase for decades: official Formula 1 support race status at the Miami Grand Prix. Your brand won't just be on a car — it'll be in front of the largest, wealthiest, and most brand-loyal audience in global sport — managed by one of the most experienced independent McLaren teams in the United States.

F1 fans are 33% more likely to buy from sponsor brands. Among Gen Z, that jumps to 40%. No other marketing channel delivers this combination of exposure, prestige, and purchase intent.

"To be a major support event for the 2026 Miami Grand Prix is a fantastic achievement and proves the strength of the McLaren Trophy championship in our biggest market." — Nick Collins, CEO, McLaren Automotive

The Miami GP contract extends through 2041 — the longest of any F1 circuit. Starting 2026, Apple TV becomes the exclusive US broadcast partner in a $750 million deal, delivering premium production quality and access to Apple's ecosystem. Miami is the only US race to host an F1 Sprint in 2026.

OWNER-OPERATOR.
ON THE GRID.

A team principal who built a performance empire and races his own car, paired with a globally-trained co-driver. This isn't a vanity project — it's a business entering competition.

Who We Are

FUNCTION FACTORY
PERFORMANCE

We're not a weekend hobby team renting seat time. We are an independent McLaren specialist race team based in the United States — and we own the car.

🔧

FACTORY-TRAINED
McLAREN

Charles Siritho traveled to England to train directly with a leading independent McLaren specialist — the gold standard of independent McLaren service. FFP brings that UK-honed expertise to the United States. We don't just race McLarens. We understand them at the molecular level — diagnostics, performance, and race preparation that matches factory standards.

🏢

9 YEARS.
BUILT FROM ZERO.

Function Factory Performance started with nothing but knowledge and obsession. Today we operate a premier supercar facility in Thousand Oaks, California — servicing McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ford Performance vehicles. Real shop. Real tools. Real results.

🏎️

WE OWN
THE CAR.

This isn't a rental. This isn't a lease. FFP purchased the McLaren Artura Trophy EVO outright — $352,000 ex-works. When a sponsor's brand goes on this car, they're partnering with an owner-operator team with total control, total commitment, and total skin in the game.

🧠

TECH-FORWARD.
DATA-OBSESSED.

FFP runs on AI-powered systems, real-time data analytics, and a Silicon Valley mindset. We apply the same relentless optimization to race strategy that we apply to business. 15,000+ hours in racing simulation. Every decision backed by data. We're the tech team in a field of traditionalists.

MCLAREN
ARTURA TROPHY EVO

Purpose-built race car. Not a road car with a cage. Carbon fiber tub, twin-turbo V6, push-to-pass strategy system. Lap times approaching GT3 machinery — in a car we own.

PUSH-TO-PASS STRATEGY

300 seconds of extra power per race, deployed via a button on the F1-style steering wheel. Deploy early to build a gap? Save it for defense? In Pro-Am with two drivers, who gets more P2P time — the Bronze or the Silver? This is where races are won on strategy, not just speed.
