Bellissimo video sul nostro fondatore...Bruce McLaren è una LEGGENDA! Chissà come sarebbe stato felice nel vedere la propria scuderia trionfare per ben 11 volte nel campionato piloti e 8 in quello costruttori! Giovedì prossimo, il 22 maggio, saranno 42 anni di corse per la McLaren...iniziò tutto proprio a Monaco...iniziò tutto col solo Bruce al volante di una sua McLaren! IMMENSO BRUCE!

bruce is a legend! pitty he gets hardy any recognition in NZ, real sad that many people in NZ dont even know what he did or that the mclaren team was founded by a new zealander

Friends of mine that like Formula 1 usually say things like:"This New Zeeland driver you mention. BRUCE McLaren?? That's pretty ironic he has the same name as the team in Formula 1." And I go:"No wonder, he was the founder of the team. In fact he won the first race for it."

If I am in a mood I explain that his team mate in Cooper, Jack Brabham, founded the Brabham team, which isn't around anymore.

@McLarenMercedes honestly not really very few people i talk to even know he lived they know the team of course but not him a sad fact really

[BackoftheL]

[ballisticbastard]

Congratulations!

It is a very beatiful tribute.

@McLarenMercedes he is in my eyes! but if you say "bruce mclaren" to 98% of NZers wont know what the hell you are talking about, they probably would think that he is some sort of rugby player!

@hell5torm

I thought he was a Kiwi national hero. A man that succeeded against all odds.

To think that his team competed in F1, IndyCar (or USAC which it was called back then) and Can-Am (which it totally dominated 1967-1971 winning 37 out of 43 races) with limited resources is a proof of the determination of one man.

Not to mention 3 Indy 500 wins, and the M6GT roadcar program which held so much promise.

It's not in the dictionary either, genius.
