The car is an updated version of the SLC chassis that raced in the F3 Euro Series and the German F3 Championship in 2005 and 2006, and will be run to National Class spec by former Lotus engineers Steve Kenchington and Nino Judge, who set up the Litespeed team.
MacLeod, who was a McLaren Autosport BRDC Award finalist last year, had hoped to graduate to British F3 for the full season but was unable to secure a deal in time. He is believed to be driving the SLC as one-off outing to prove its potential.
The car will have its first official F3 outing in the test day at Snetterton tomorrow and team boss Judge has conservative expectations.
"We are just using this weekend as an evaluation to see where we're at," he said.
