HarperCollins: HarperCollins Publishers, 2005. In 1948 11–year–old Bruce McLaren defied doctors in Auckland, New Zealand who told him he might never walk again, becoming a leading international motor racing champion, winning Grand Prix races and establishing a team that still carries his name in Formula One. With an enviable reputation as a safe driver with an engineering background who respected limits, his tragic death while testing a new CanAm sports car at Goodwood in June 1970 shocked the racing world. Jack Brabham stayed with the McLaren family during his first race overseas – the 1954 New Zealand Grand Prix – and the young schoolboy was intrigued with the preparation of Brabham's Cooper–Bristol. The friendship led to Brabham selling his father Cooper cars and Bruce raced successfully enough to be awarded a new Driver to Europe scholarship in 1958. The following season he was Brabham's teammate in the Grand Prix team and made racing history when he won the final race of the 1959 season, the US Grand Prix at Sebring. At 22, Bruce was the then youngest–ever Grand Prix winner. In 1960 he won the Grand Prix in Argentina, establishing a link that would see McLaren the man win the first race of the decade and a McLaren car win the final race when Denny Hulme won the Mexican Grand Prix in 1969. When Brabham left the Cooper team in 1962, Bruce took over as team leader, a position he held until he built his own Grand Prix car for the 1966 season. He had formed his own racing team in 1964, winning the New Zealand Grand Prix<p>. Hardback. New.
