Much has been written about Bruce McLaren but nothing rivals the scope and depth of this comprehensive collection of memories and memorabilia from his family archives. In the Bruce McLaren Scrapbook his life and achievements in motor racing are celebrated as never before. A man of vision and skill, McLaren was matchless – the complete package of driver, designer, engineer, constructor and team owner. Packed with never-before-seen material, this book is a unique tribute.

• Fascinating illustrations sourced from the Bruce McLaren Trust: period photographs, personal possessions and numerous documents, including letters, contracts, certificates and newspaper cuttings.
• The early years (1937–57): childhood (including a disabling disease that left him with one leg shorter than the other), engineering at university, early exploits with cars.
• Driver-to-Europe scholarship (1958–59): first beneficiary of a new scheme in New Zealand to send promising young drivers to the heartland of motor racing in Europe; made his mark with an F2 car in the 1958 German GP.
• Welcome to Formula One (1959–63): driving for Cooper in this period, he won three GPs; at the 1959 US GP he became the youngest man to win a GP.
• Team owner (1963–70): building his own cars for Formula One, and won the 1968 Belgian GP at Spa.
• Not just Formula One but sports cars and Can-Am too (1964–70): winner, with fellow Kiwi Chris Amon, of Le Mans 24 Hours in 1966; McLaren cars dominated North American Can-Am series from 1966, winning all 11 races of
  1969.
• The final season (1970): tragic death in a Can-Am McLaren M8D while testing
  at Goodwood.
