‘Life is measured in achievement, not in years alone,’ said 27-year-old Bruce McLaren in 1964, when his new company, Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Ltd, was
less than a year old.
In those days, fewer than half a dozen loyal souls, who slogged across the world to race his cars, shared Bruce’s vision. Nowadays, the McLaren Group employs more than 2,000 people,
all of whom still share Bruce’s ideals of combining sportsmanship with solid engineering
practice and cutting-edge technical expertise. On September 2nd 2013, the McLaren Group
will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
From the McLaren 50 logos, below, they’ll proudly sport on team shirts, through specially commissioned heritage video features, to the launch of the new MP4-28 Formula 1 car with Jenson Button and Sergio Perez on January 31st, every lap, every corner, every mile and every road they take will be an opportunity to revel in McLaren’s present while recalling a glorious 50-year past.
Ron Dennis CBE, executive chairman, McLaren Group and McLaren Automotive, said: “McLaren’s history is long and storied, but McLaren’s legacy is harder to define – and that’s because it’s still being vividly written every day by the dedicated men and women who work at the McLaren Technology Centre.”
“This is a book that’s still being written, and that, perhaps, is the greatest legacy of McLaren.”
