The Downton McLaren eVirtual Team is a British virtual racing team which competes in eVirtual. The team made it's debut at the series' inaugural race, the start of the 2020 season and is currently the series' most successful team.

Origins

In October 2019, the Downton Formula Virtual team announced they would split with current manufacturer partner DS Automobiles at the end of the season, and instead start up a deal with McLaren. As a part of this, it was announced shortly after that the pair would jointly enter the new eVirtual Series, beginning in 2020.

Downton run the daily operations of the team while McLaren build and develop the powertrain, while also providing additional technical support. As such, the teams base is in Amesbury - alongside the base of the Formula Virtual outfit - while McLaren operate out of their Woking base. Team founder Bradley Downton appointed his former FV driver and friend Scott Parsons as the team principal.
