The car also turned up in new clothes. The No. 7 debuted a fresh livery this weekend, a design and application made possible by McLaren Newport Beach and Protective Film Solutions (PFS).
The No. 7 McLaren Artura Trophy now looks as good as Randy and Michael have been performing this season.
Some context on the pairing. Highland is in his first season of any form of motorsports competition. O'Brien is a multiple championship winner in McLarens overseas who joined the team ahead of the Miami round, the second weekend of the year, and has been in the other seat for the last five of the seven podiums.
Indianapolis next
What's left is Indianapolis. The season finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway runs October 8 through 10 as a doubleheader plus a makeup for the second Miami race, which was rained out in May, so the No. 7 gets three shots at the top step in a single weekend.
You have to give Michael, who has been a fantastic addition to the team, a lot of credit for Randy's fast progress.
"We keep building the momentum we will take going into Indy," O'Brien said. "The tripleheader there will be good, and I think we will be on pole there for the Miami make-up race."
"I am looking forward to Indy," Highland said. "We are seven for seven with podium finishes this year, but the goal is to obviously be P1."
