Oh well… I failed to include an image, it was my maiden post after all :)

Here is a link to the type I am looking for its name.

Hi - I'm not sure if anyone has replied to your message. The font used by McLaren appears to be a custom font based on Red Roosters Elstron Light font. Their version is extended by 160% and appears to be squared off more than the original. Certainly the lower case "c" is special because Elstron is a caps-only font. I would guess that an agency redrew the font for McLaren, or perhaps RR supplied a custom version.
Hope that this helps!

Logos are not meant to be ordinary fonts.
