It says: “It was a new team, a new discipline and a new car that – to begin with – was far from easy to be competitive in.

“Allied to the fact that with such a big entry, Duncan could have been ignored, he made sure he did an excellent job and got faster as the season wore on.

“His Navarra weekend was a stand-out and hopefully a bright GT future lies ahead.”

Duncan, who is currently exploring options for racing in the series next year, said: “It was very good and positive year for me in 2012. To be with a team like ART and a manufacturer like McLaren was a dream come true.

“The Blancpain Endurance Series is a quality championship with great teams and drivers. I think it’s an absolutely brilliant championship and I think more and more people want to be involved in it.

“It’s by far the most competitive GT championship out there at present.”
