In The Beginning

McLaren Racing was founded by Bruce McLaren in 1963 when he hand-picked a small group of associates to design and build racing cars bearing his name. Today, with more than 50 years’ motor sport experience, the team has designed, built, competed and won at the highest levels in Can Am, Indycar, Le Mans and, of course Formula 1™.

McLaren competes in the most demanding racing series in the world, where a fraction of a second can be the difference between winning and losing. So, if you’re not innovating, you’re not staying ahead – that’s why continuous upgrades are delivered by the team throughout the racing season.
