History
Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was founded in 1963 and competed in its first Grand Prix at Monaco in 1966. The team's first Formula One victory was in the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch with Bruce McLaren at the wheel. He won again that year in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa giving the team their first championship win.
In 1974, the team won its first Constructors Championship and their driver Emerson Fittipaldi secured the Drivers Championship in the McLaren M23. The team has won a total of 8 Constructors Championships and 11 Drivers Championships with such legends as James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Mika Häkkinen.
McLaren cars have been represented in the Scalextric range for nearly 40 years beginning with the M4A in 1969. This was followed by the M9A, the M23 of James Hunt and then through the highly successful MP4 line from the 1990s.
In a remarkable rookie season, Lewis Hamilton secured podium finishes in his first nine races. Hamilton led Drivers Championship into the season finale in Brazil where he finished seventh after gearbox problems had dropped him to eighteenth. Hamilton's second place behind Kimi Räikkönen in the Drivers Championship and his four race wins made him the most successful rookie in Formula One history.
