Target Racing's new adventure in the 2026 McLaren Trophy Europe begins this weekend at the iconic Monza circuit. The Lugo di Ravenna-based team is presenting a strong field at the Lombardy track, fielding four McLaren Atura Evos. Three of them are entered in the PRO class.

The #9 car will be driven by Alessandro Fabi and Patrick Schober. Fabi, born in Rome in 2000, has experience in the world of GT racing, while Schober, born in Bratislava and driving on Austrian licence, is 21 and has experience in Euro NASCAR.

The #81 car will be driven by Estonian Gregor Jeets, who already competed with Target in the Imola round of the Italian GT Sprint this year, and by Italian Riccardo Ianniello, born in 2007, who has distinguished himself in the national GT racing series.

The #99 Atura Evo duo features 26-year-old Englishman Kristian Brookes, the 2025 Ligier European Championship champion in the Pro Am class, and 22-year-old Dane Largim Ali, who competed with Target in the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo and in the GT World Challenge last year with a McLaren GT3.

In the AM category, Raffaele Giannoni, who has previously raced with Target in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo and the Italian GT, will be the only driver competing in the #96 Atura Evo.
