[Saba Sports News] According to the latest media reports, the McLaren team will hold an auction event during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend this December. Three of McLaren’s F1, Le Mans, and Indy 500 cars will be auctioned. This unprecedented auction will take place on December 5th in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with RM Sotheby, during the final weekend of this year’s Formula One season. The team says this move is part of McLaren’s efforts to re-emerge in global motorsport, including returning to endurance racing and aiming for a historic triple crown. This auction is a groundbreaking initiative. Buyers will have the chance to bid on an F1 car used by McLaren drivers Norris or Piastri in the 2026 season, to be delivered in 2028. The price of McLaren F1 cars has risen significantly. For investors, classic McLaren F1 cars are rare and unique, and they have a certain level of risk resistance and appreciation potential in the high-end collectibles market, attracting the attention of many investors.
