This collection of personal and family memorabilia includes more than 600 many previously unpublished photographs and press clippings\u2014meticulously cataloged into a fine pictorial publication by younger sister Jan McLaren and writer and journalist Richard Becht. Bruce McLaren had extraordinary talents as an engineer, designer, inventor and, of course, a remarkable driver. In 1959, he became the world\u2019s youngest, and New Zealand&#8217;s first, F1 Grand Prix winner\u2014a record that stood until a certain Sebastian Vettel won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix. It was at Goodwood motor racing circuit, some 11 years after that historic win that tragedy struck and robbed motor racing of a true great, who epitomized the glory days of the sport. In that short time, he had lived and achieved more than most would do over several lifetimes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is an anthem to Bruce\u2019s vitality and spirit, and cannot help but transport the reader back to a bygone era. It\u2019s a must have book for all who have had a long-time love affair with motor racing in its purest form.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hardcover, 256 pages. <strong>NZ$59.99<\/strong> (approx <strong>US$48.00<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-752297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend.jpg 894w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend-100x76.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend-770x584.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bruce-McLaren-Scrapbook-\u2013-A-Pictorial-Celebration-of-a-Kiwi-Legend-293x222.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce McLaren Scrapbook \u2013 A Pictorial Celebration of a Kiwi Legend By Jan McLaren and Richard Becht Bruce McLaren was the sporting, smiling and human face and founder of the team that has now morphed into that which competes in modern Formula One racing under the frosty corporate banner Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team and an antonym of all he established.
