Garage 59 is a British sports car racing team that currently competes in the LMGT3 class in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The team was founded in 2016 as a revival of the CRS Racing operation to run McLaren 650S GT3's in the Blancpain GT Series. In its debut season, Garage 59 won both the drivers' and teams' championships with the #58 McLaren of Rob Bell, Côme Ledogar and Shane van Gisbergen in the Endurance Cup.
In 2019, Garage 59 switched brands to Aston Martin, the three-year partnership yielding third place at the 2021 24 Hours of Spa. It returned to McLaren in 2022, and scored three overall wins in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe as well as Spa 24 Hours pole in the hands of Marvin Kirchhöfer. In 2026, Garage 59 was selected by McLaren as its LMGT3 partner in the FIA World Endurance Championship, taking over from United Autosports. After losing out on a debut win at Imola due to an alternator failure, the team took its first WEC victory at the 6 Hours of Spa.
Garage 59 takes its name from the race number of the McLaren F1 GTR that won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans overall with drivers Yannick Dalmas, JJ Lehto and Masanori Sekiya.
