Just came across this. I thought it was a lovely and heartwarming tribute...Its recent I think but haven't seen it posted so thought I would put it up here.

Think it was made for the launch of this years car.

Bit of a shame it's not doing to great would of been nice to see it win the wc this year

It disappeared offline for a while - not sure why ?

I believe that the agency who made it put it up too early and the voice-over was a British accent... it was then taken down and what reappeared was identical except the voice-over now had an Aussie (NZ) twang; to be more authentic, I suppose.

Surely there are enough Kiwis over here that could have done the voice over?

You'd think if they redid it, they would use a guy with a freeking NZ accent.

Seemed slightly odd to me when I first saw it and apparently that view is shared by some close to him too.

I don't like it and find it distasteful. IMO.

Not my cup of tea but I do admire the outstanding talent and drive of Bruce Mclaren himself. Genuinely gifted driver and outstanding Racing Car visionary and manufacturer. Huge loss to racing at the time and desperately tragic in an unexpected testing crash not in a competition. However at that time Motor racing was a lot more dangerous. All the more reason to admire Mclaren.
