From the Pacific Coast Highway to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, we were proud to share our passion with clients, friends, and enthusiasts who joined us along the way. Thank you to everyone who came to see us — here’s a look back at an extraordinary week in California. DK x WEC 2025 - Round 4 - Le Mans 24H The 24 Hour of Le Mans lived up to its reputation for James and his teammates in 2025. A true feat of endurance, dedication and teamwork. Devastatingly for the LMGT3 crew, it was double heartbreak with the #95 retiring in the sixth hour and, perhaps even more cruelly, the #59 suffering an electrical fault at the 23-hour mark... The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 User's Guide Join James Cottingham for our Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 user's guide DK x WEC 2025 - Round 3 - Spa Francorchamps The 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps - round three of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) - delivered a rollercoaster ride for the McLaren LMGT3 duo on Saturday afternoon in front of nearly 100,000 spectators. Starting from P16 (#59) on the grid after a challenging Qualifying session, James Cottingham surged through the field with thrilling battles on track, clean delivery and slick execution by the team in the pits. At the two-hour mark, Cottingham (#59) claimed his place in the top three after a phenomenal climb. Wrapping up a sensational charge to the front, James handed to Silver-graded Sebastien Baud. Efforts by the #95 McLaren were brought to a dramatic halt in the third hour, when contact with another car – which subsequently served a penalty - sent Gelael thundering into the tyre wall at T7, instantly ending their race, thankfully, without major injury. Shortly after, Baud suffered contact in the #59 with another car – which also received a penalty - resulting in suspension damage and an emergency trip to the garage. The crew sent the McLaren back out after 11 minutes, valiantly completing the race – ultimately crossing the line P15, four laps behind the LMGT3 leaders. The Ferrari 288 GTO User's Guide Join James Cottingham for our Ferrari 288 GTO user's guide DK x WEC 2025 - Round 2 - Imola This weekend the McLaren LMGT3 duo took on the 6 Hours of Imola - the second round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship - at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in front of 65,000-strong, roaring crowds. After a stellar start to the season in Qatar, the podium-placing team battled the intrinsic challenges of the kerb-lined Imola circuit, ultimately crossing in 14th place. James Cottingham: “A disappointing day of course. We were looking to bag some safe points, but we didn’t manage to bag any at all. But on reflection, this was our weakest race last year and it was always going to be our weakest race this year. So having the success ballast from the last race at our weakest track was probably the best thing. And we will look forward to Spa where we had front row performance for qualifying and podium potential pace during the race last year, and I don’t see any reason why we can’t deliver that in a few weeks’ time.” DK x WEC 2025 - Round 1 - Qatar Podium for the #59 Crew at the WEC Season Opener in Qatar - James Cottingham: “I’ve said a number of times since we got to Qatar that I feel like we could hit the ground running. The efforts that have been put in by the United Autosports team over the winter have been translated into a podium that is well-deserved at long last for the #59 car! I couldn’t be happier. Super close to the race win, and we had a teeny bit of bad luck with a gear box malfunction in the race which lost us 40 seconds. Without that, undoubtedly we could have been on the top step of the podium. But we have seven more rounds and I am confident that you will see McLaren on the podium at multiple points during the season going forward … which is where the team should be! Very pleased.” DK x WEC 2024 - Round 4 - Le Mans 24H The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most prestigious race in automotive history and presents one of the hardest challenges a driver may have the privilege to face in their racing career. Over the past week, DK's Managing Director and Lead Acquisition Consultant, James Cottingham, has been at La Sarthe, fulfilling a lifelong dream of competing at the infamous French endurance race. Jaguar XKSS - The Original Road Racer After withdrawing from factory-backed international motorsport in 1956, Jaguar vowed to make the remaining 25 D-types into road cars.

This is one of those 9 examples, and its fully UK road registered.

Together, we shared highs and lows.
