Now, can we... Whoa, hold it. They are still on.
Right. Ready.
Gordon, will you talk, and, Uh, Bruce, if you can just nod.
Yes.
This is the story of a young man from New Zealand who was so successful When driving a car he came to Europe to branch out as a professional driver.
As a designer, and as an entrepreneur, Last year McLaren exported racing cars
worth one and a quarter of a million dollars.
Bruce McLaren is driving at number 100 Grand Prix at the age of only 32.
Hurricane Bruce returns to make it one sensational McLaren.
McLaren seems to choose any line
on a bold journey rarely seen on motorbike racing.
The McLaren crew head Tyler Alexander looks happy, isn't that right?
Bruce, you race world motorcycle racing circuit,
and defeat someone who is far away, much more money to spend than you have.
Will you be much better if you have four or five times more money to spend?
No. We might experience terrible chaos.
You can become too big as a racing team,
and you can be involved and hidden.
You must be able to move fast if you are going to be competitive
But the actual treatment with which pieces are put together is very important.
Something is done incorrectly or is assembled Hasty can be very dangerous.
When I was little, Mum remembered Hearing me tell a fantastic:
"When I grow up I will become a racing car driver."
We will talk about... We will talk about Bruce,
side of human interest, really. Yes, what I think is a good idea.
You know how it feels when you meet someone and there is an instant connection.
He is a very active person,
learn about car mechanics on his pop station on Remuera.
We learn how to repair cars, install cars together, build things, make things.
We are always together. Friendship is unconditional.
His sense of humor never far behind him That is like a shadow.
Motorcycle racing is what we live on.
Bruce's father is beautiful extensive career in motorsport himself,
from the 1930s.
Wife and friend signal drivers
how far they have gone and their position.
Some sharp viewers follow the race on the same road,
While others only see cars passing by,
and wonder why on earth people want to do this kind of thing
Pop McLaren clearly wants Bruce to follow in his footsteps,
and Bruce really liked it.
That is always in his mind Since he was a kid.
But surely it is indeed in severe discomfort
Most of the time, it is bound to that frame.
Bruce suffered from a childhood illness, which has left him paralyzed.
We call him a paralyzed Kid.
We think he has polio.
All types of blisters from all over New Zealand
consists of 73 patients in Wilson's House for Children with Disabilities
in Takapuna, Auckland.
At nine-thirty I contracted him Perthes disease.
The connection of the ball on my left hip is on strike
To paralyze the hips, They tie me to the frame
and hang loads from my feet.
Said a specialist I will be laid for several months.
He lay in the frame for two years,
never come from it
Educated about it, and washed and fed on it, and the whole.
One leg is always shorter than the other.
And he's limping badly,
and can't play rugby or cricket like other kids
- Can you press anything? - Sometimes.
Your part, yes
And shoot.
Damn.
Can I move?
Move? What do you mean, move?
I'm better when I move.
During these formative years,
Pop can see Bruce's extraordinary ability.
And he will give us a little lesson about transverse
and things that must be considered.
That is what he always said that when Bruce defeated his time,
he becomes the driver
New Zealand doesn't have many sports events at that time,
and people will drive anywhere to watch people glide around.
We do a lot of races together,
throughout North Island and South Island.
And during the Grand Prix, it's New Zealand International Grand Prix,
start, It becomes an extraordinary event.
I mean, there are 70,000 people there on the first day.
New Zealand Grand Prix is an opportunity
for Bruce to race against the best drivers in the world
People like Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, and Stirling Moss.
These people are Spitfire pilots from the 50s and 60s.
Boys pin-up.
In New Zealand racers are considered with awe.
And if they happen to be foreign drivers,
admiration develops into hero worship.
That's how I consider Jack Brabham.
Jack Brabham stores the race car at the Pop service station,
so he became a family friend, and Bruce's mentor.
Bruce is a very good driver and He has a talent born in him.
Motorcycle racing is not something you want Suddenly learning suddenly.
You must have it inside, and you have to feel it,
and Bruce must have all of that.
International New Zealand Grand Prix introduces scholarships
to get New Zealand drivers to compete internationally.
Well, the winner tonight, He started racing as a 15-year-old boy.
This year alone he won six of six sports car races,
Riding a former Jack Brabham Bobtail Cooper.
The winner is Bruce McLaren.
Now, Bruce, this award lets you go to England,
where you will practice and race with Cooper Car Company.
Bruce is 20 years old.
Mr. and Mrs. McLaren say,
"Will you go with Bruce? as a mechanic / maid?"
I said, "But I'm not a mechanic."
You know, I work in the automotive warehouse section for my father
Bruce said, "You will learn."
Making our backup is Jack Brabham.
What I can do must have it for him
to come to Tim Cooper.
This is where we build our race car
and there are hundreds of components the part that goes in to build a racing car.
John Cooper said, "There is your car there."
And he looked up, and that was a pile of pipes and shelves.
That's your car there, kid. Now you should start building it.
And he must arrange it with Colin Beanland to build a car
before he can race it.
And Bruce started his career in Formula 2.
Dear Dad, I hope you can be here
doing this racing motorbike with me.
I think I've inherited something from you
This is the ability to have a go when the time is right
Bruce starts getting some good placements in the race,
which helps budget. And he likes the money he won.
Bruce is very great the letter writer.
And the boy will record the recording to send it home
Thank you, Pop, by the way, for that extra money you sent.
Fortunately, I don't think I will need it. The way I see this season
is to get many races this year possible, and do well.
I look forward to Nürburgring very much.
This is a very difficult course, and if I can finish it there,
I will be very happy
That is a combination of Formula 1 and 2 race. Bruce in Formula 2.
Nürburgring is the most dangerous circuit on the calendar.
They call it The Green Hell. Torturing, very, very dangerous...
There are several parts where, if you are brave enough,
You will go from the top of the hump and you fly
So many different angles, So many types of angles,
You know, climb the hill, down the hill, off camber, with camber,
jump twice, four wheels in the air.
That is a challenge for any driver.
No problem how many do you know Nürburgring,
Each round has a new challenge.
Bruce was no stranger at the time. New children
And he really leads Formula 2. part As the race progresses,
he entered several Formula 1 cars, and passed them too.
He finished fifth overall. Win the Formula 2 part.
When he drove, back to the pit,
He grinned on his face It was clearly like a mile wide.
He is really happy.
I helped him get out of the car and,
You know, I think there are tears in our eyes.
That's true which changes the tide.
This gets international recognition. He became a list of competitors.
♪ Happy birthday for you
Bruce was 21 years old that year. He is still in England,
but there are 21 big birthday parties at his parents' house.
Well, hello, kid.
I hope you enjoy a beautiful day, and like Phil said,
we only hope you don't think we are all under the influence of liquor.
We both miss home, but driving the power behind everything
is enthusiasm we have for what we do.
- to father - Hello, Bruce
Again, very much survived today
I mean, people will be happy to do what we do.
The Auckland Car Club is used to hold regular night clubs.
Pop will take the recording.
Di Goodwood,
biggest sorting between professional drivers
and the chapter just started is a fast angle.
At this fast bend, you are traveling around them the first few times,
you think, "Ooh dear, it's near the limit,"
but actually not. That's all time and confidence that allows you
Quickly circle fast corners.
Rain starts pouring,
and all banking are really dangerous
We take this banking about 140 miles per hour.
Under extreme G loading, you have it To hold on to a fairly tight wheel
to stop your hand being pulled down to the floor of the car.
1959 is the first Bruce Full season in Formula 1.
Towards the end of the year Coopers is the main competitor
Surely it looks like it's the last Grand Prix of the season at Sebring, it can be a decisive race.
Brabham has got the race in his hand.
Supported by McLaren's team mate, no one can touch it now
The race and the World Championship are his, but now the order has changed.
This is McLaren, number nine, who takes the checkered flag.
Bruce wins.
And team manager John Cooper welcomes the winner at home.
My best friend now wins the first Grand Prix.
Bruce is now the youngest driver ever,
at the age of more than 22 years, to win the Grand Prix.
And Jack has won the World Championship.
What will they say in Australia when they hear this? or New Zealand?
I don't know about Australia, but I think they will be happy in New Zealand.
It is a new world for Bruce because now he is recognized.
I remember Bruce saying, "I think we are famous."
That is an understatement when you consider it
what happened for the rest of this year
Bruce won the opening round of the 1960 World Championships in Argentina.
And on board the plane back to England, Jack, Bruce and John Cooper
come with a car which keeps sweeping everything before that.
Cooper's car has swept the blackboard and won the constructor prize.
And Bruce, in his second year with Cooper,
finished second to Jack at the World Championship.
Bruce McLaren is the first New Zealand
to actually enter Formula 1 and establish the fact that Kiwi
can go and do it, and really make the breakthrough on the world stage.
He is an important figure for all Kiwis.
Bruce returns home every year for the race season.
One of Bruce's sincere ambitions is to win the Grand Prix in his hometown.
It's been years for motorcycle racing sports that are popular in New Zealand,
attract drivers with appetite for sensation,
and mechanics with a taste for playing around.
There are car clubs throughout the country,
and although the prize money isn't big,
there is nothing small about the amount spent on the vehicle.
For big money, and big names in motorbike racing,
we fly north to Auckland, our biggest city
In January every year it is run International Grand Prix of New Zealand.
In summer, there are many interesting things Northern hemisphere racer to New Zealand
Not much happens in the northern winter of that time.
New Zealand is the perfect place to come and take some sunlight,
water skiing, girls
Enjoying the summer weather with friends is a Grand Prix driver,
some of them have come halfway the world for big races
Water ski expert,
Arnold Glass tries to explain sports to English drivers.
At least one Englishman has another interest in mind,
and the only student of Arnold is New Zealand Bruce McLaren.
After a faltering effort,
Bruce decided to stick to car racing. He said it was safer.
In New Zealand, Bruce met a girl from Timaru.
I definitely remember when Bruce first met Patty,
and he will become Miss Caroline Bay.
We meet in dance, from memory.
Then I change houses with my girlfriend,
and Bruce said he wanted to see me again.
And he's only there for a few days,
and then he is tootled, and keeps in touch
I am 18
So I always say we have a date with letters.
Before we get engaged, We've met about six times.
I always like people with brown eyes and black hair.
He could be a few inches taller.
Often we will be invited to Bruce's house for dinner,
sometimes in company people It's not a racing motorbike.
And the entire conversation will be finished off with a pencil and a piece of paper.
Bruce in the heart is an engineer.
He will make a model of balsa wood and sticks and strings,
and do a torque test on the kitchen table.
And he will come the next morning
and show us what he has drawn and what he has built.
Bruce and Jack talk about life after Cooper.
Here we managed to overcome the perfect storm.
Both drivers on the team, are not just fantastic drivers
but both are able to do engineering and design a winning race car.
Jack Brabham leaves the Cooper team at the end of 1961,
and start the construction of the car itself.
Engineers at Bruce must have thought,
"That is something I really need to do one day."
- How are you doing, Bruce? - That's pretty good at that time, John.
I think braking is too little at back, but if it's not nearly perfect.
Monte Carlo is just magical.
They used to have a film festival the previous week,
so all stars will stay.
That's amazing. And we used to travel by convoy
with various other drivers, and we will stop at a small motel.
But we have fun, you know, go around together.
At that time, all drivers were friends with each other,
But they are very determined by their competitors.
Bruce is now number one driver at Coopers.
There is a lot of pressure.
All the leading racers are there.
Five, four, three, two, one. Push!
Graham Hill. Ooh, look at that.
That was Willy Mairesse with Ferrari.
This is Monaco.
Every driver who can finish in Monaco in my book is a hero.
That is a true resilience event.
Two and three quarter hours,
2,700 gear changes, hard on the brakes, and hard on the steering wheel.
Bruce leads, followed by Phil Hill at Ferrari.
Phil Hill approaches Bruce, and chases him.
And everyone in Cooper's pit gets very nervous
Go straight for the last time,
and Bruce McLaren
won the 20th Monte Carlo Grand Prix with two seconds.
Everyone is really happy,
John Cooper is more likely than others
As Bruce told me later, he said, "Phil Hill may have overtaken me,
but it's impossible he'll be able to pass me It's impossible."
Coopers have been truly Bright by Monaco.
And I don't need to tell you, friend, Patty held a ball meeting with royalties.
Grace and Rainier hold a cocktail party. I was fixated on the emerald.
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings.
And that's just amazing.
Bruce McLaren at that time was a jet set man.
The world famous Grand Prix the winner of all time.
Bruce McLaren, Jim Clark, Innes Ireland, racing aces now...
Bruce is a superstar.
We have fun, you know, go around together.
Time...
Our life is time, and heart rate is seconds.
Whatever we do, our preoccupation with time is constant.
No speed for top racers.
Your mind really synchronizes
with its elements You compete against,
and one of the elements is speed.
There is an element of danger But Bruce is very careful.
But unfortunately, motorbike racing has many tragedies.
For years, Bruce saw a number of his friends killed.
You deal with humans,
cars that are put together by humans, so they can break up.
Humans encourage them, so they can make mistakes.
Drivers know that kind of thing Whenever they get into a car, really.
It may sound callous, But if you want to keep pace,
Thinking about an accident is bad.
It is best to try and forget as soon as possible.
Everything is slow,
You have plenty of time to brake,
You have a lot of time to change direction.
Speed only occurs when you have an accident
At the Nürburgring he had an accident, a high-speed accident.
Bruce said that he only remembered getting up in the hospital
I once promised myself that I would give up motorcycle racing if I had a major accident.
But I found myself thinking, "Not yet." And I want to start something big.
Run my own clothes
Bruce is preparing for the future.
Bruce is a great student in that case a university that is a Coopers.
He has a greedy appetite for information.
Curiosity and intelligence that burns it. He has the ability to think big.
When Jack Brabham leaves, the becomes very clear that Coopers doesn't want drivers involved in design,
or in the picture. And that's where Bruce's passion lay.
Bruce, as an engineer,
can see the best day of Coopers are behind them
This is the beginning of the plan to get his own team in full.
Jack says, "It's hard, But if you want to do it, just look for it."
I think the first thing I did for Bruce, Besides...
I mean, I painted it several times, of course, won the race.
But he asked me to design a badge
for later embryo McLaren Racing Team.
This tatty old big book was revealed recently.
I have an entry here: "Designing a badge for Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Limited.
For use on racing cars, transporters, letterhead, collar badges.
Thirty-nine pounds." And he said, "Yes, can you design the relevant badge
to the New Zealand team?"
He is very proud of his legacy, and New Zealand.
Okay, Kiwi, race car, team name, a badge.
Bruce McLaren Motorcycle Racing Team.
Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was first formed to race in New Zealand.
In a Cooper workshop in England, Bruce and I have built a car
specifically to win New Zealand Grand Prix, from the bottom up.
That car, for all and purpose, McLaren cars,
but because he is still contracted and driving to Cooper,
it makes sense to call it Cooper.
But that's really Bruce's deal.
Cooper copies our car, and builds it the second car for Timmy Mayer.
Timmy Mayer is still young American driver, teammate Bruce,
and to some extent, students.
Timmy is very easy to approach youth.
He has done very well in England in Formula Junior.
With his brother Teddy, as his team manager.
That is the New Zealand Grand Prix. This is what we are here for.
Far away the crack driver field
on their 150-mile high-speed trip.
Lap your lap with your fingers crossed.
And to win in the car that Bruce and I have designed
and building yourself is just extraordinary.
Many round hugs, it is a big effort.
But, as you learned in motorbike racing, is very high and low.
In practice in Longford, the last race of the series,
Timmy talks to Bruce about a hump on the road right before going to the corner,
because Timmy felt that he braked before that,
and maybe can brake after that.
And Bruce said, "Yes, you can brake After that, but very, very careful."
Timmy leaves and never returns.
The vehicle landed a little sideways to the tree.
The car almost broke into two Behind the cockpit,
and you know, it just killed it instantly.
That was really our first tragedy.
This is the first time it's very close to home.
When you talk to someone a few minutes earlier
and they are no longer with you, that greatly affects you.
But there is a race the next day.
And the team appears...
and we ran the next day.
They are serious about speaking about Bruce not racing,
but decides that, you know, we must continue
This is our business, this is what we do.
At Timmy's funeral, Bruce's eulogy writes
really a spell that was followed by the team since then.
News that he died instantly It's shocking to all of us.
But who said that? he doesn't see more, do more,
and learn more in 26 years than many people in a lifetime.
Doing something well is very valuable it's to die trying to do it better can't be stupid.
This will be a waste of life to not do anything with one's abilities.
I feel that life is measured in achievement, not just in years.
At the end of the Tasman series, we returned to England,
not sure what future will continue.
Eoin Young calls me and says,
"Bruce is here, he wants to talk to you."
Bruce queued and said,
"I expanded my team, Do you want to work for me?"
He wants to hire more Kiwi.
"Yes please. Thank you very much. I will do that."
New Zealand mechanics very innovative
They have learned to build cars in our small country,
where it is very difficult to get spare parts.
So they can do it true new components
You know the old saying,
If you give Kiwi a long number eight wire fence, he will produce anything.
So he likes that attitude, Because that's how he is.
Bruce McLaren now has an team but has no workshop.
Our tow truck has a rusty old trailer.
And Eoin Young was sent immediately to try and find us a workshop.
Come to think of it, it's terrible.
It was very small but actually it suited us perfectly at that time.
What he came in was the corner a large industrial garage
used for servicing earthmoving machines.
With what is actually the ground floor.
This might be very concrete,
but with all the bulldozers moving, broken down.
Bruce McLaren Motor Racing in England starts in a warehouse that is very grotty.
Well, that must be done.
Money.
It takes a lot of money to run a team
Mechanics, drivers, transport.
Bruce faces Lotus, Maserati and, of course, Coopers and Ferrari.
There is a payroll to meet each week.
Bruce was asked to drive America's big sports car,
especially as a test driver.
Ford uses Bruce a lot, because they value their technical abilities.
With his technical background, Bruce can drive his car,
and he can tell the engineers exactly what is happening
Bruce needs money from Ford.
There is no money in Formula 1.
The McLaren team really is being financed to do testing,
and we will do anything to three or four hundred miles a day.
Not much money at that time.
They do a lot of tire testing for Firestone, which pays a lot of money.
Just a wonderful experience
So I knew Bruce quite well at that time I started working for him.
These are people, none of them has reached the age of 30,
and they are full of enthusiasm, full of innovation, and they are smart.
We all speak the language, we all share the humor,
and we are all really dedicated to him.
He works with us. He doesn't do it Stand there and issue instructions.
He will be there with him rolled arm
I think now cars are like big GT cars,
that we drive at Le Mans, Nürburgring and so on,
they will do 200 miles per hour, and they also speed up like crazy,
Turn the wheel, you can't continue full throttle all the time,
and this is much more fun.
Bruce decides sports car racing maybe the way to go
for the young McLaren team.
He had heard of a car that would be sold in America, called Zerex Special.
Teddy Mayer returned to America, with his life ragged
because of the death of his brother, Timmy.
And Bruce said, "How do you want? to try and buy this car for me,
and come to England?" - We cut the chassis. - Install the Oldsmobile engine into it.
A large exhaust pipe looks like something from Mars.
Throw it on the plane, take it to Canada, and win at Mosport.
Bruce McLaren from Auckland, New Zealand
gets a checkered flag
We, in Europe, race for nuts,
and for us to go to America and see the type of money
available is mind-blowing.
With his new team, Bruce needs management.
How about mechanical means take nuts?
- Like the Tyrell air lock. - It won't be a bad idea
Teddy Mayer is a lawyer.
It becomes the business brain of from operations
He looked around repair shop and said,
"Damn, you can't work here."
Then Eoin Young is sent again.
Eoin Young brought us as we are an upscale workshop in Feltham.
That is 10,000 feet, ideal place to start.
There are many windows, and good concrete floors,
and good work bench, even office.
And Bruce decided to start with a clean sheet of paper,
and we will build the first McLaren.
This year we decided that the car might win
will be a light-powered car by relatively large American engines.
McLaren M1.
Bruce sketched with a piece of chalk on the floor
what we will do
That is an instant item. There is no time to draw.
That person will enter at night and say, "What have you made today?"
"I have made some wishbones here. Just draw them."
I have an office with an sign on the door that says,
"Don't knock. We don't have time like that."
Bruce is famous because he just waved his hand and said,
"You know, make it like this."
Whoosh, you will take a few tubes, and dolls, you have a chassis.
That is one of Bruce's favorites the term "only heosh bonk."
And of course that is stuck, then everything is "whoosh bonk" after that.
But that is just something terrible.
The day we pushed it out of the workshop, painted black,
with a silver line, and a little Kiwi badge on it,
is a very, very proud moment for all of us New Zealanders Bruce went to America to run the car.
And you will pack and become a gypsy.
You know, you will find a place in someone's place garage, at some dealers,
anything, to work outside
Parts that must come from England.
The car is light, very similar to a formula car in Europe.
This creates a large amount of attention.
America when it's running Heavy car, very heavy.
Bruce is agile, and he can duck and dive and weave
among all this big big monster.
The phone starts ringing, and people start asking,
"How can we get one of these cars?"
- Boy, that car is something else. - Yeah.
Do you want to push it?
- Mister, you have your own agreement. - I'm glad you like the car.
Father, we are quite happy what it is like.
We can sell 30 sports cars this year if they are available
Much easier than winning a race, let me tell you.
We have a way to go before we understand
aerodynamics on this sports car
but I guarantee we know more than others.
Great excitement has taken place in Formula 1,
but we keep quiet.
Finally there from the runway is Concorde 001,
and in Toulouse let's join Raymond Baxter.
Only a few seconds to go.
A magical moment with us, crescendo sounds from Olympus 593.
The nose has reached 20 degrees, he airs
He flies.
Bruce said to me, "You know, we really need a full-time designer,"
because he is always flat all the time.
So I said, "I know this friend Robin Herd who works at Concorde,
But he wants to design a race car."
I've been outside 3 years and I work at Farnborough,
which is the head office from British Aircraft Industry.
When Bruce told a 25-year-old boy, "Come on and my first Formula 1 car design,"
You can also say, "Yes, I will do that,"
and the biggest risk of cock-ups of all time,
or not, you throw a chance for life
Robin is aware of all these ingredients We don't know anything.
And one of the products is called mallite.
I do some sort of the latest airplane technology version of Formula 1 cars,
using honeycomb, double skin and bonding.
Bruce takes it enthusiastically.
JAN McLAREN: Letter for Dad
full of technical items. The first mallite car.
There is a picture of the bathtub, and a little picture of what he does
Of course, Dad just arranges every word.
It is a very boring vehicle to build.
We will work in the car come midnight
We might work in the car all night.
If you have just worked 12 or 14 hours a day, week after week,
There is a little tension.
When someone is welding and can't see,
we will fill a 20-cigarette package with acetylene oxygen
mixed with the right ratio.
And you just slide it to the flame.
And at some point it explodes.
I mean, it makes those pants scared.
You know, Bruce took all of that things in his steps.
Bruce is always one of us. Very many boys.
When he builds a new car, he will enter it,
and pretend to drive, and make the engine sound, and direct it.
"Oh, kid, this will be fast," and then we will go, "Yes, yes, yes."
Very pleasant
They build a jig to build a mallite chassis with.
Cold sounds steel tubes, about four inches in diameter.
And it is realized this will happen barrel of beautiful weapons
We decided to make acetylene, oxyacetylene cannon.
A hat is welded in the end
and then a little bolt and plug are installed.
Fortunately I did good work in welding it.
Not realizing what we are doing.
Robin Herd, yeah, is a fun object.
I don't know what we are thinking.
There is a sense of humor for everything Looks like they received me.
He usually comes to work at nine o'clock or something.
We must have worked for some time.
The image space door is at the top of the stairs.
We wait until Robin enters the office. So this gun is installed.
- Tin paint is very suitable. - Navigate to the door.
And it's far more successful than we expected
It goes through the door.
Suddenly the door went inside.
We are all organized to slip the rifle instantly.
So that's money, under the bench. Everything is invisible.
"What? Bang? Did you hear me?"
That's typical New Zealand and then McLaren's sense of humor.
6 a.m., daughter, eight pounds, brown hair
Amanda Leigh. It's fine Bad father
We must be very lucky.
Little Amanda is perfect leigh as we can hope for.
I take them home and pick up the nurse on Tuesday.
I did not go to Nassau until Wednesday afternoon
He handled it amazingly. I think I have to do more handling.
Well, you have to do it, if indeed so will have a successful marriage
And whatever comes You take your steps.
Because he often goes far away.
1966 is Bruce McLaren's first year as Formula 1 constructor Bruce, especially, wants to win in Formula 1.
So far he holds numbers one and two,
the number that goes into the car, for Chris and himself.
Chris Amon will go run a backup car
That never happened.
I have never raced at all because the engine was a disaster.
Bruce installed the Ford Indianapolis engine to the back of the Formula 1 car.
That makes a fantastic sound, but there is absolutely no speed at all.
Dear people, I've been writing for a long time
I think you have to wonder what is going on.
The last few months have been rather difficult
For the first time, we experienced a major setback.
F1 season ends, and we will definitely fail.
It's hard to keep the spirit of the team The team is stuck in that, like they did.
But you know, with that machine there is no hope...
which is a real blow.
I feel a little pain lately.
Just one question, Bruce.
The doctor asks if I have a headache, and I said, "Yes."
Very likely because of the curve in your spine.
Because the pelvis is not square when I stand up
His left leg becomes shorter than your rights
For a more permanent solution, there is a Instead of a radical procedure that we can do,
where we change Head your femur with steel.
He sent me to do X-ray,
and when I see them, I'm a little shaken.
The truth is that good balls and sockets and the left are tatty old objects.
Quite normal Perthes Disease recovery, he said. But it shook me a little.
Short legs, and the pain they cause,
For him personally, is a big problem.
It was never discussed, it was never, ever considered
from other people's attention but hers, but that's the reality.
Bruce needs a ride.
This is Le Mans, home of the most world-famous road races.
Through his contact with Ford,
Bruce is contracted to drive at Le Mans.
McLaren has been assigned by Ford to build a special GT40 version.
I first met Bruce around 1966.
We are testing and developing with Ford.
We used to play around, because it has a little limp,
and he must have clutch pedal approaching it.
And I said, "Do you know what?" I said, "I keep banging my shin for that."
Stupid things, but that's what friends do.
I was in good hands with Bruce. I want to learn as much as possible,
because Bruce is an artist.
I like the way he plays the car, and there is skill for it.
To be able to extract every ounce of from what this machine is capable of,
a machine that...
can hurt you
He took the GT40 from a vehicle it was dangerous at 190
to a car that is running 214 or more miles an hour, take your hands off.
Bruce has contributed a lot of from his expertise to this program,
and Ford are quite dominant at that time.
Le Mans is truly a big goal.
Henry Ford has decided he wants to win and it doesn't matter what he needs.
There are no budget restrictions as we are all in Formula 1.
Bruce and I work together as Ford drivers.
I think it becomes natural to put the two Kiwis together.
Having the opportunity to win Le Mans is huge.
The race always starts at four o'clock in the afternoon,
and finished at four o'clock the next afternoon
Bruce starts the race,
running across the track, one foot shorter than the other.
At that time, those cars, you can't drive them flat for 24 hours.
But Bruce said, you know, "We won't lose.
Let's give it all." And that's what we did.
We just drove him out.
Beams choose relief signs,
and a long lonely night lies ahead.
When the day falls on Sunday,
Ford is in a very strong position.
In the first place, number two, Ford.
In second place, number one, Ford.
In third place, number five, Ford.
Ford makes a decision, we are first, second and third,
we will die hot
When that decision comes to slow us down,
I remember Bruce being really upset.
Bruce does the final task.
I will never know whether Bruce put it foot down, or Ken Miles backwards,
but Bruce crossed the clear line ahead
Suddenly, you know, we stand on the podium with Henry Ford,
and we have won one of the most famous races available.
We just won Le Mans.
♪ A few years ago Ford saved a need
♪ For a brave new type from a four-wheeled horse
♪ A car to stand out from other gang members
♪ A car is born for fame
♪ Ford Mustang...
People on the road, they have Ford, and Bruce drives Ford.
They will say, McLaren, That is the person who won Le Mans.
This impressed many people.
♪ Mustang... 66!
That is a big PR boost.
All Bruce racing operations at that time
really aimed at the Can-Am series.
Can-Am is Canadian-American Cup Challenge.
And the series consists of unlimited machines,
Almost unlimited everything,
so people can be very innovative with their cars
Well, this is Mosport. And I'm Bruce McLaren.
What do you think is your biggest break?
The creation of Can-Am series is very good for us
Right on the stage where we started to concentrate
on sports car racing,
sports car racing is a very big thing in the US.
I start as a race queen, if I want to, with the flag, and the jump.
I heard that machine, and I, whoa.
I will go around with this camera all the time,
and I will do the driver parade,
and they will all wave to me as they pass Like family.
Must meet Bruce, and become friends.
I like the way he always says, "He will be right, friend."
Bruce has a good team, and he's trying
collecting enough money so he can spend enough money
to stay on the cutting edge the development of racing cars.
Mastery of McLaren's design is very proof.
Thirteen slim models are in a race.
McLaren is a field class.
I'm very jealous, hoping so much
that I can drive One of the things itself.
The McLaren brand, the car, interests me.
It's smooth, and looks good. So that inspired me.
Fill your back straight,
McLaren makes 165 miles per hour look easy.
I met Lothar, and Lothar drove a Cobra for a while.
But when I saw McLaren...
I sell my Cobra.
I sell my house.
I bought McLaren.
Bruce McLaren is very important to me,
and what he started with the McLaren team was amazing.
That was a great few years in my life.
But I was approached to meet with Mr. Ferrari.
Bruce was very disappointed because I thought he was
thinking about stopping racing yourself and just running the team.
Bruce, you're very busy side of construction and management,
Do you plan to retire from racing yourself,
and devote seven days a week for construction and management?
Not yet.
I imagine that in a few years or so I will do this.
But at this stage I still need for me to do driving.
In 2010, 67 we spent three months
just build this Can-Am car to go to America.
That's all we do. We are just crazy activities.
We need to win to get money prizes
to be able to to do our Formula 1 car.
I don't know how they were scratched for years
I think Teddy basically put a lot of money in, in the early days.
Failure of Formula 1 is hit Teddy's wallet is very bad
It's one thing for sponsors to say, "Yes, we will stay with you,"
But they must have a reason to stick with us
The McLaren team has built it the Can-Am car that is really new for 1967.
This is M6A.
Comrade Bruce, his colleague New Zealand Denis Hulme.
Where do you find that extra speed?
I would say most with our car, at Acceleration comes out of the corner.
You don't expect any problems in the race?
I always expect problems, I just hope we don't have them.
In Mosport, the race will begin.
Bruce said, "Look, we have a problem."
New Zealand Bruce McLaren, who passed second,
not on the grid
A few minutes before the cars line up,
McLaren mechanics find a leaky fuel bag,
and work hastily to replace it, but time is running out.
Denis Hulme 's teammate will bring a McLaren banner.
Dan Gurney, in the second line, will be the main threat.
Field inactive for a tour around two and a half mile courses,
without McLaren
And then America See Bruce doing something special.
McLaren is not active.
To play catch-up is a difficult way to go racing.
McLaren is almost left behind one round as pak gets a green flag.
Bruce McLaren left 55 seconds behind.
Denis Hulme at number five McLaren leads Gurney
be cheats down left-handed in Turn Two.
McLaren comes out of esses
and blast for straight and green start / finish.
Hulme and Gurney are preparing scorching speed.
McLaren easily pour it,
cut the distance between himself and tail-enders.
McLaren has captured the tail end of Nat Adams,
and signal Fred Pipin to allow it.
McLaren draws five places in just five laps.
McLaren seems to choose any line
on a bold journey rarely seen on motorbike racing.
Brett Lunger enters the guard rail, debris all over the tracks.
Gurney and Bruce McLaren are sensational
battle for both
McLaren moves down the straight pit
But Gurney closed the door.
McLaren is now in second place.
McLaren's crew chief Tyler Alexander looks happy,
isn't that right?
Hulme in trouble. He has finished serious damage to bodywork
McLaren narrows the distance.
Hulme struggles, the burned wheels are locked in place.
Remarkably, Denny survived to win.
Hurricane Bruce returns to make it one sensational McLaren.
Every driver likes opportunities now and later
to be able to come directly from behind the field
Even though Bruce really wants to try and lower the wind,
He likes racing, he likes to drive. And he is still good at that.
Bruce needs another driver in Formula 1.
Quite clear Bruce and Denny went very well.
They are Kiwis who control the world.
Denny has legs in both camps, as before.
He drives with Jack Brabham in Formula 1.
And the longer we go, we become stronger together,
and Bruce decides there will be a place for me
in the Formula 1 team, the new Formula 1 team.
- Beautiful. - I don't like steepness.
- I do - I'm with you.
You have to play for fans, right?
Our Formula 1 car is designed. M7. Robin Herd designed the chassis.
The car was successful from the beginning
We start to look very good.
And then, in 1968, Bruce made history at Spa.
Spa is a very, very long race, very high speed
Fuel consumption is very important.
The spa is a bit like Monaco.
Sometimes only three or four cars will be finished
Denny is very competitive. Both right from the beginning.
Bruce ran sixth or seventh, made his way in the field,
and Denny starts leading, and then The next thing is he, in the pit.
Pit stop What's wrong?
The drive shaft melts from the side of the gearbox
But Bruce's car is running very well
Towards the end of the race,
he has worked for himself Second place, behind Jackie Stewart.
Tyler is out there with a pit board for Bruce,
waving angrily, telling him to go faster and faster,
Because there are every opportunity he can catch Jackie.
On the last lap, without Bruce knowing,
Jackie Stewart's car stops, gets out of fuel.
But he didn't see Jackie run out, and he crossed the line.
As far as Bruce is concerned, he finished second,
and we try to tell him, "You won, you won.
You have won the race."
Oh, I just thought it was fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic. And he deserves it.
Bruce has now won Formula 1 Grand Prix in his own design car
and produce, carry its name,
and it's just a big step forward for the race team
This is very right
the first to win for McLaren in Formula 1
With Bruce McLaren at the helm.
And that is the second time in history that a driver wins the Grand Prix with his name on the nose of the car.
And that has never happened since.
I've told Bruce, you know, "The first time we started here
eight or nine years ago, and we dreamed about doing something ourselves,
we don't know how long it would take , when we can do it, but we've done it. "
It's in a cul-de-sac, just below the London Airport flight path,
is home to one of the most successful
British motorcycle racing area.
David Road is a very basic type British industrial area.
For us at the time, it seemed like this was very big, but...
Every 80 seconds we have a land jet above us,
and if you are talking on the phone, You just have to stop talking.
while the building is vibrating. "
Having a factory so close to the airport matches Bruce fine.
He constantly airs.
He can jump from the plane at the airport, get to David Road,
There are several meetings, and he will do it back to the plane in minutes
Bruce and Denny spend a lot of time on airplanes
back and forward across the Atlantic.
Drivers, Bruce and Denny & apos; s, Split involvement between
Can-Am weekend, and then Formula 1 weekend in Europe.
They will fly on Thursday
because jet lag is very bad between the United Kingdom and the United States.
And we will run Friday, and then Training and qualification Saturday,
and then race on Sunday.
The McLaren team won more than $ 162,000 in prizes for this series.
Bruce must have been something crazy about work
There is this great need for him to be busy.
I'm not sure When he had time to find sleep.
Bruce also has a big plan to produce street cars, road cars.
And I remember the prototype coupe that he built We are in England, establishing to get the next McLaren shipment.
When we were in the office, he showed us this model that was there,
The GT he wants to build, because that's his dream.
We want to do road cars in the future,
and we talk and think about it. Several roads on the telephone.
Hope this happens
All neighbors come out
When he was very quiet trying to drive it out of the garage
I only drive for a while,
and want to show off When you have a cocktail party.
We are in a very competitive year.
The cars are very, very equal.
They are all within ten seconds at lap times
This really keeps you working.
The car starts getting stronger,
and the designer tries to find a way creates downforce
to keep the car on track, in particular fast bends.
And the car starts to spread wings.
Aerofoil section Place it on the struts, paste it on the back of the car,
Put something in front of to balance it,
and give more downforce, and therefore more grip.
You know, aerodynamics have come a long way since those days of us placing wings on the minivan
and measure downforce with bathroom scale
For the season & 69; the car was named M8B.
This is the car we live in high wing configuration,
with struts upwards uprights, which are proven invincible.
Group 7, the fastest race car in the world
Champion McLaren and Hulme drive cars to win at Gulf Premium No-nox.
If McLaren and Hulme depend on it
for strength, performance and distance, right?
Bruce McLaren's success and Denny Hulme in Can-Am are amazing.
In 1969, there were 11 rounds of the Can-Am championship.
McLarens wins all 11 of them.
Every race. Hulme won five, McLaren won six.
Only extraordinary
He brought home a bucket of cash.
Many other race team owners make themselves rich and beggared their team, and Bruce do it the right way.
Put your money and effort into your racing team,
and then, when you really win, then you can live from highlife.
So we have finished building home in Walton-on-Thames.
Three quarters of a hectare. Mother, you will like it, I'm sure.
I am happy. This is a real family home.
We already called it Muriwai.
When you talk to anyone it at their height,
it must eat everything, it must be your total life
It feels like working in a circus.
or South Africa, and you will appear on the racetrack,
and all other members of the same team,
and you have never met for three weeks
It's like a small community of that moves around the world.
New Zealand Bruce McLaren advanced in the 100th Grand Prix
at the age of only 32.
Every year it will be a little harder to keep everything tidy and like well controlled as we do, You know, in previous years,
because there are it's just more administration,
there is something more wrong.
We have grown very fast within two or three years.
Bruce was so busy that I could, sort of, wave him when he passed in the factory.
It's always in a hurry to get Formula 1 cars
was built to start January, February. And then the Can-Am does not start until June.
The resources are wide enough.
Not a big team of people at all, maybe 50 people
working on Can-Am, Formula 1 and Indianapolis cars too.
Grand Prix Monaco, Le Mans, and Indianapolis 500.
Indy 500 is arguably the most famous race in the world.
I think it's logical for a workaholic to see Indianapolis
as the next thing to overcome.
Yes, he is building an empire.
Dear people, two Indy cars go last night
Dan Denny, Chris Amon, Teddy and I
must run in Indianapolis on Monday morning.
No one entered the team, other than Denny,
really have experience that place
Very early on the month,
Denny's car caught fire down the straight back
Overall Denny caught fire,
but because it's methanol, you can't see the flame burning.
And finally Denny succeeded his hand was badly burned,
who stops driving, Actually he arrived at the hospital.
We are scheduled to test with a Can-Am car.
All of May
large intersections of all our projects.
Formula 1, Indianapolis and Can-Am almost too much for one person.
And I think maybe Patty has an influence on that too,
He just returned from America the day before,
from Indianapolis
Denny should have tested the car,
because Bruce has just returned and is jet-faced.
But Denny can't drive.
The design side of the car doesn't change much How will you do much better than 11 out of 11 wins?
The main change occurs through high wing prohibition.
There are so many accidents in Formula 1 with high wings...
which Americans follow and ban them at the end of the year.
Cary Taylor and I are at Goodwood.
And they roam rear wing configuration
They have wing parts hanging between fins on the tail first,
and this is generated a large amount of downforce.
We are testing there with Formula 1 cars, and Can-Am cars.
And he climbed from one car to another
He is in a great frame of mind, and I always remember,
he had seen the film Sundance Kid, and that was in his favor.
He was very impressed with that.
Ready?
No, we will jump.
Oh, damn it!
And you always stop at noon at Goodwood for lunch Aero Club confirms. But Bruce wants to do one more run.
And he wants to use the back wing again.
There is a little panic "get out of the car" to get only another round in to evaluate this particular adjustment.
You can hear the cars,
V8 runs around 6,000 revs, and that is a terrible machine.
Suddenly, it's just...
And shut up.
Jim Stone and I jumped into my car, and then drove.
And I lifted it from the car, and It was clear to me that he had died,
because he is broken, and he is like a rag doll.
So I... I hold on to him.
and then an ambulance person take him from me
That's not too long before I call,
and that was a tragic accident, and we have lost Bruce.
So... so...
what we are, we take A broken car, put it in a truck,
and I drove the truck back to the factory.
I have to tell Patty what has happened.
Some people from McLarens have just arrived home.
Amanda is a little clear, so she doesn't realize it at all.
I said to Denny, "Let's just go out."
So we went out and walked around the page
and gardens at Bruce's house.
I realize I have to call Bruce's parents in New Zealand.
And now after midnight there.
Pop answers phones and it's very difficult...
to tell them what has happened
I talk to Pop. I spoke with Mrs. Mac,
Mrs. Mac said, "You know, that's right terrible feeling this morning
something will happen."
And I sit suddenly in bed.
Upright bolts. Dan Les said, "What's wrong?"
All day back, Roger.
His...
You build a close relationship with the driver He must trust you.
And...
Yes.
Yes, a very sad day.
I want boys to keep going, and I write a letter to the team,
Boys like me always call them.
My son
What happened should never happen.
At, say, 180 miles per hour, with the rear wing set at a fairly high angle,
The back of the car is lifted.
Unfortunately, there are a marshal post, due to demolition,
not yet dismantled, Right on the road of the car.
Teddy and I decided to get it everyone in the factory together,
and we said to them, "Take it tomorrow."
The next day everyone shows up.
Yes, we decided to continue. I mean, That's what he wants us to do.
Eoin Young, Patty McLaren and I myself will fly to New Zealand
for his funeral
Funeral procession left to go to the funeral.
At each intersection, There is a traffic officer
make sure the lights are replaced,
so that the cortège will never be slowed down.
All traffic officers stand for attention
and salute as we pass it.
We have a great photo of Bruce,
and we put it on the wall far away from the factory, in the prototype shop.
Denny is there every day,
other than the days he must live and see his specialist,
and he takes over his coat team leader
Behind everyone's mind, of course,
Here we will be in Mosport, the first Can-Am race, June 14.
In two weeks
So another car must be built very fast
if we a functioning motorbike racing team.
They are quickly designed a new struts system
to hold the bodywork and rear wing.
Denny said, "I will go to Mosport,"
because he said We have to be there with two cars.
And we said, "No, you don't, you can't."
"Doctors have told you that, You know, your hand is very bad."
Come on what is possible, he is driving.
Direct thought is who can we approach to drive a second car?
The McLaren team is here,
dedicated to winning in their boss's memory.
Dan Gurney, Bruce's close friend,
have volunteered to drive second McLaren.
I drive a Can-Am car for McLaren
in the worst condition, when Bruce left us
I feel like my old friend Maybe I feel honored if I can do it well,
and so I say yes
He joins Denny Hulme, whose hand has been badly burned
in testing for Indy 500. Against doctor's orders,
and with his hand wrapped, Denny will race.
So on the grid in Mosport,
there is Denny with very painful, burning hands,
and then the left hand goes to the wheel,
and we have to sort of print it turn the steering wheel so he can survive.
Extraordinary doctors in Mosport allow him to start.
Denny leads almost all the way, until he has a gearbox problem.
And win the race.
Denny is in third place.
That is a great opportunity to do something for Bruce
to keep it running
McLaren goes from success to success.
Teddy won the Can-Am Championship in 1970.
We have won the Indy 500 in the new M16 with Mark Donohue.
In 1974, we achieved our final goal,
we won the Formula 1 World Championship with Emerson Fittipaldi.
We won the Indy 500 with cars with Johnny Rutherford.
Repeatedly in 1976 with James Hunt in Formula 1,
Johnny Rutherford again at Indy 500.
And McLaren becomes the only team in history
has completed the World Championship Indy 500 doubled for two years.
Bruce McLaren's legacy lives on.
I always say that if Bruce comes to the factory one morning and says,
"Okay, man," because he is always We speak collectively as men,
"Okay, man, we won't work Today's race cars
we will march across the Sahara Desert,"
It was on the beach in a place called Muriwai, in New Zealand.
And I am about 16 years old.
That may be the shortest, The slowest race I have ever won.
Of course there are no prize money.
Actually, I might have received a certificate, that said,
"This hereby states that B. McLaren
won up to 1500cc all-comers defective competition."
But I am definitely happy with that.
They say that there are There are quite a few modifications
done in your car.
What are some modifications?
I believe, to start, you use a bamboo space frame.
That's right. This is a frame of bamboo space.
And we also use the most sensational developments of course square wheels.
That gives us more footprint When the car will be sideways.
