The Orange Times The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust November / December 2015, Issue #10 NZFMR Porsche Festival In anticipation of the upcoming Porsche Festival at Hampton Downs over two weekends in January, we could not resist reviving the following article, written in 1967 by Bruce for his Autosport column “From the Cockpit”… London, August 1 About three weeks ago the competition department of Shell telephoned and asked if I’d like to drive either a Ferrari or a Porsche in the BOAC 500 race at Brands Hatch. Deciding which one wasn’t easy. Ferraris could obviously win, but driving the Porsche seemed the sporting thing to do: the little Porsches were going to be the Davids in this David and Goliath-type battle that was brewing, and that appealed to me. I was in good company in the Porsche team, as they’d also signed up Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt and Jo Siffert to drive the eight-cylinder 910 cars. During practice I made a comment to the chief engineer that the eight-cylinder car, with its slightly heavier engine, didn’t handle as well as the more developed six-cylinder car. His reply was classic: “Za handling is OK – just more difficult to drive ja? So ve haf za Grand Prix drivers!!” I expected it to be a good race. The BOAC backing somehow gave it glamour and the press build-up for the six-hour race began back in February. It was in fact the biggest and best lineup of GT sports cars and drivers ever seen in England. A Chaparral had never raced here before, and neither had the P4 Ferraris, the Mirage, or the works 910 Porsches. The only regular GP drivers not sharing a wheel were Jim Clark and Dan Gurney. After the big Mk 4 Ford at Le Mans and our own “big banger” sports car, the Porsches were fun to drive – it had a kind of wobble to it but once you got used to it you could slide the car round quite a lot. The steering felt very high geared, but light at the same time so that you could catch all manner of slides without moving the wheel very far. My ears are still buzzing from the noise of that flat eight engine. The six was perfectly OK to drive, but the eight had a pulse to it that really got into your ears, even with ear plugs, cotton wool and then your crash helmet over the top! Our practice for the race was uneventful. Jo Siffert and I only did five fast laps each – “Five laps, ja?” I got stuck behind two Ferraris and didn’t get going as fast as I thought the car could go. Jo got some clear laps and recorded seventh best time behind the Lolas, the Chaparral, the works Ferraris, and the Rindt/Hill Porsche. Jo did the start for various reasons, the main one being that he didn’t seem to mind doing it! He was apologising to me for something trivial before the start, but I told him not to worry, and just make sure he was in the lead when he came in for the first pitstop. And he did! We could run for two hours between fuel stops, a little longer than everyone else. Surtees hammered off into the lead, but only for a couple of laps before he stopped to adjust the fuel pressure. Paul Hawkins then lead the pack for a while in a works Ferrari, but Denny finally got through and opened up a big lead in the Lola before he stopped with a broken rocker, leaving the Chapparal out in front. In this Issue… NZFMR Celebrating Porsche P1/2 Trustee Report P2 Goodwood Revival 2015 P3 General News, Events Calendar etc P4 Bruce McLaren Trust Graham’s Porsche was lying just in front of ours when Trustee Report something let go in the engine. Followers of the “Porsches- do-not-blow-up” school must have been severely shaken: The Trustees take this opportunity to wish you well for the I’d spoilt an engine in practice and now Graham had done festive season and for a happy and prosperous New Year. We it in the race! also thank you for all your support this year as we have faced many challenges as we progress forward. Our year started on a very positive note with much planning and research on potential options for a permanent home for the BMT. However, having spent some months on options, viabilities, plans and feasibility studies, two major happenings created considerable frustration and a halt to all planning, just as we were about to present the options. Firstly, the old McLaren Service Station came up for sale on a separate title and then whilst we were discussing this, the sale of Hampton Downs started to progress at the same time. After much deliberation we made a decision to tender for the Service Station Building, but regrettably we were unsuccessful and the property sold for $2.2 million. Whilst we have Heritage NZ Category 1 and Auckland Council Category B ratings to protect the building, the new owner wishes to develop it. We will now work with HeritageKevin NZ &and Jackie Remuera Heritage, and our As the bigger cars started having their fuel stops we conservation architects to protect the heritage and integrity of moved up the leader board, and for a brief spell just the building, as the new owner proceeds with plans to seek Resource Consent. Because of this, there may not be a home for before the second hour Jo was leading in our car. When us in this new development and even to buy back just the single he stopped the car was refuelled and Jo muttered something half in French and half in English about having McLaren apartment in which we are currently based may not be to pump the brake pedal and the brakes being “mad” – or feasible. If the development of the building proceeds, and once that’s what it sounded like! I jumped in, shifted the seat the building is earthquake-proofed, the upgraded building may up a notch, and roared off. The Chaparral was only a little not suit our needs. ahead and I thought for a while that I might be able to catch it, but the brakes weren’t too good so I gave up that There is no time line or protection of our current tenancy at the idea and settled down to drive as fast as possible while Service Station. In order to protect ourselves from a short notice using the brakes as gently as I could. termination of our tenancy, the Trustees have decided to invest in one of the apartments in the Ganley Block at Hampton Downs. When I handed back to Jo we had only an hour and a half This is an investment for the Trust and also a benefit for Trust left, and the race had settled down with the Chaparral in members as they will be able to rent the apartment at a the lead, the Amon/Stewart Ferrari second and our discounted rate.

The Tribute to Bruce has been on the planning board at Goodwood for a few years and it was fantastic to see it come to fruition in September. With all the planned tribute events for the weekend, the Trust decided to have only a small commemorative gathering at the Memorial Stone on the Thursday. This included the laying of a small wreath, brought along by members, moving speeches by Howden Ganley, Roger Wills and Andrew Kerr - nephew of the late Phil Kerr - and some great photos of the groups of attendees.

A very heart-warming part of two of the tribute parades was seeing Amanda behind the wheel of Bruce’s own road car, the M6GT.

Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • 1967 Mclaren M4A:2 LR
    ! The Ex - Piers Courage, John Coombs 1967 McLaren M4A Chassis Number: M4A/2 • One of two works cars run by McLaren in 1967 for the European Formula 2 season, long before customer M4As became available. Owned by John Coombs and driven by Piers Courage while he was also a works BRM Formula 1 driver, scoring 2nd place at Zandvoort and 3rd at Hockenheim. • Bought by Courage in time for the 1968 Tasman Series, where he scored a phenomenal victory by a huge margin in the final round, beating the likes of Jim Clark in a Lotus 49. Courage also took a 2nd and three 3rds to finish 3rd in the series. • Sold to Australia at the conclusion of the Tasman Series in 1968 and raced successfully there by subsequent owners before returning to Europe in 1991. • Recently maintained by Speedsport, with Michael O’Brien taking victory at Cadwell Park in HSCC Classic Racing Cars. Benefitting from limited use on the Geoff Richardson built Cosworth FVA engine, 2017 fuel bag tanks and 2018 FIA HTPs. • A significant and fabulous McLaren in which you can race at some of the best circuits in Europe with Historic Formula 2 and in England with HSCC Classic Racing Cars and Aurora XL, while also being the pride of any collection. Formed in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren, McLaren Motor Racing has become a household name thanks to the continued presence and success in Formula 1. Bruce had begun his Formula 1 career as a driver, competing for Cooper alongside Jack Brabham. McLaren took the first of three Grand Prix wins for Cooper in 1959, as the youngest victor to that point at just 22, and finished second in the 1960 World Championship.

    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.
