McLaren pay tribute to team founder

McLaren marked the 40th anniversary of the death of team founder Bruce McLaren on Wednesday at their Woking headquarters. McLaren, who won four Grands Prix, died on June 2, 1970 while testing a McLaren Can-Am car at Goodwood.

The entire company gathered outside the McLaren Technology Centre for a minute’s silence during the afternoon. The silent tribute was followed by a much noisier homage as they revved the 8.0-litre Chevrolet V8 in the back of one of the team’s classic M8D Can-Am cars.
