A card honoring NZer Bruce McLaren,- born 30 August 1937 in Auckland; died 2 June 1970 racing in Goodwood, England - a world Formula 1 champion, who competed in in 98 Grand Prix from 1958 to 1970. A brilliant driver, he also founded the McLaren team, which become one of the most prestigious of motorsport history. Here he is driving a 420 hp Ford V8.
Terrible year, 1970. I remember the tragedies like they were yesterday.
