The Golden Era of Bruce McLaren Racing

[Victor Hugo]

This is a fascinating little video, for further reading on the golden era of Mclaren I can highly recommend a book i came across recently by a guy called Phil Kerr who was joint MD at McLaren with Teddy Meyer back in the 1960's and 70's. It doesn't look too promising until you get stuck in, where you get into the amazing seemingly casual story of how Bruce McLaren started the team as driver, engineer and team boss all in one. It also gives more explanation of Emerson's reference to Phillip Morris (Malboro to you and I) who financed the deal for his drive with the team. Gives some context to how amazing the M23 era was right up to the time James Hunt joined the team.
