Did you know that the Mclaren, now one of the best teams in Formula 1 and a more glorious than the past, was born in the years sixty by the genius of a pilot-builder New Zealand: Mclaren.Quando Bruce Bruce decided to start his own team had just a twenty-nine, even if racing in Formula 1 for seven stagioni.Aveva it debuted in 1958 at just twenty-two, the year after winning his first gara.Per many years, these performances earned him the record as the youngest rider to have them ottenute.Forse Bruce McLaren was never a true flying ace levels Clark, Brabham and Graham Hill, its most successful contemporary, but was however, a pilot of the absolute level, fast, clean and respectful of the mechanics, so that the consistency of the results was his most valuable rilevante.Corse with Cooper until '65, finishing second in the championship in 1960 and third in two years to later. Then, in the wake of what was done by Brabham, decided to create a team that bears his name, which is also quite common in those days (as did, for example, Surtees, Graham Hill and Ligier). His cars, painted strictly of orange, official color of New Zealand, won his first success (actually quite lucky) at Spa in 1968, just with Bruce at the wheel, and between '68 and '69 the other three victories came from Denny Hulme, while, again in '69 Bruce was third in mondiale.Ben were more satisfactions in other categories, such as pilot Bruce got his main success winning at Le Mans in '66 coupled with Amon, but as a builder for years dominated the category, then much in vogue, the Can-am.
The year 1970 opened with a pretty good second place in the grand prix of Spain, and 2 June of that year an accident at Goodwood while testing the Can-am and caused by the detachment wing, put end to the career and tragically short life of only 33 Bruce Mclaren.Aveva anni.Non ever knew who have not achieved success in life of his fellow pilot-builder Brabham, his team was destined for a far more brilliant future of one of his rivals.
