Star driver and engineer, who came into the sport at a very young age, who was killed in a test at Goodwood. His name lives on with his still successful team. McLaren was an excellent driver, who won Le Mans in 1966, Sebring in 1967, 4 World Championship Grand Prix's, including at Monaco and Spa, the 1964 Tasman Championship, the 1967 and 1969 Can-Am title and numerous other wins in numerous other series. But arguably it was as an engineer that he was the most brilliant at. A somewhat laid back man but with a hard-work ethic, these two attributes helped establish the team and put the groundwork in place when Bruce died, at the still young age of thirty-two.
