Orange Times Issue 1 The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust April / May 2014, Issue #1 Welcome to ‘The Orange Times’ This is the first of what we intend to be a regular bi-monthly newsletter to keep all supporters club members up to date with Trust activities, history, events, and general news. As Jan has mentioned, we have not met our commitments in recent times in terms of newsletters, due mainly to a lack of time and resources. This is about to change. Celebrating 50 Years of Hello, my name is Allan Horner, and as a long term life member of the Trust have often threatened Jan with the McLaren Racing promise of giving up some of my time to assist once I th 2014 marks the 50 Anniversary of the first managed to retire from full time business. Well, that time year of racing for the Bruce McLaren Motor has finally arrived, so I have volunteered to edit and produce Racing Team (BMMR), so it is appropriate to ‘The Orange Times’. cover some of the important landmarks achieved by the team in 1964 as we go We would welcome ideas and feedback on how we can better through 2014. communicate with you in the future.

In fact McLaren and Ferrari have been two of the most competitive teams in the sport with Enzo forming his team in 1926, and Bruce in 1963. Since 1950 Ferrari has won 15 World Championships and McLaren 12. McLaren have also won 5 Can-Am Championships, won 3 times at the Indy 500 and once at Le Mans. Ferrari has won 9 Le Mans races but only the McLaren team have wins in all four race types. The Festival was also about gathering as many Ferrari’s in one place as possible with a record attempt on the first Saturday. 141 Ferraris lined up on the grid with examples of every significant model represented – and many of them were red. As always the NZFMR has the support races that make it two weekends of fabulous classic motor racing. The special demo cars this time were two 1985 turbo era F1 cars the 156/85 V6 turbo developing 780 hp in race mode and 1000 + hp for qualifying at 12000 rpm. The third F1 car was a 1994 V12 412. While not turbo V6 Turbo F1 Ferrari it put out 820hp but at 15800 rpm, which meant that the V12 screamed as it went around the track, not even the F5000’s made that sort of sound! The Trust had its marquee on our usual spot overlooking turn 9, with our member and invited guests viewing area being well patronised over the two weekends. Fantastic to see the 1963 T66 F1-6-63 1.5L V8 Climax Cooper in our tent again. This was kindly displayed by MOTAT especially for the NZFMR. Raced as a works F1 car by Bruce and Phil Hill, until a serious fire in Austria destroyed the car. Bruce Abernathy secured and rebuilt the wreck with a 2.5L V8 to race in the 1965 Tasman Series.

Black with pocket and fine black and white chequer trim on the collar and sleeves. Since our letter to all members in January regarding the future of the McLaren M8A, we have had amazing support from the $65.00 (less 10% Members Discount) majority of our members who understand our situation and why Available direct from the Trust, or from the this decision had to be made. Be assured that the decision was not made lightly. There has been much discussion with Sir website www.bruce-mclaren.com Colin Giltrap and other business advisors and that in making the decision our heartstrings have been stretched to the maximum. It has been an emotional time for all the Trustees over the last two years and we therefore fully understand those of you who have felt strongly opposed to our decision. The M8A is an absolute treasure and will always be a wonderful icon and recognizable tribute to the work of the BM Trust, the support and donations from all our members and the wonderful restoration work of Duncan Fox. Wherever the M8A goes, it will always be recognized as the car the Trust and the members restored and that history will always travel with it. Our last 12 months of reducing costs, condensing the office size at Remuera, moving our storage facilities to cheaper ones, repacking and resorting memorabilia, etc. has been worthwhile and we have managed to reduce overheads considerably, albeit the office is a little crowded. We have also since December, started receiving sponsorship from Mobil and they are now providing our monthly petrol running costs, so another very much appreciated supporting partner. The 50 th Anniversary year which McLaren started marking in September 2013 is ongoing still and we will mark a few more events throughout this year as we track that first racing year of 1964 for the fledgling team. As we start this new financial year, we look forward to increasing our income, more events and more involvement with our members – we welcome your feedback and regular contact and I look forward as always to hearing from you all. Jan McLaren 3 Bruce McLaren Trust The Zerex Special To further our 50 th Anniversary theme, McLaren’s first real sports car and forerunner to the fabulous Can-Am cars, was purchased by the team in early 1964 from Roger Penske. Zerex, a producer of coolant antifreeze, originally sponsored the car and its development, hence the name. The ex F1 Cooper chassis was running the original climax engine and had the sports car body, albeit with a single seat cockpit, when purchased after Penske had had a successful run with the car in US events.

The calendar has been finalised and the tracks booked and HRC are just waiting to finalise with the classes what events they wish to run at before we announce the full list of classes running at each event. Some events are already full with eleven classes which is really the limit we can run at a two day meeting. Some interesting projects coming up including a possible new motoring TV show (f we can get support) and a rerun of the B & H 500. HRC are endeavouring to run Classic meetings and Mixed Meetings as separate events with the classic meetings with older cars and hopefully cars with COD’s. Unfortunately for commercial reasons we have to have some non-classic classes at these meeting to make them viable. The classic meetings are the Icebreaker 28/29th September Hampton Downs, Tasman Revival Hampton Downs 25/26th January, Tasman Revival Pukekohe 22/23rd February, Paul Fahey NZ Legends of Speed 21/22nd March Hampton Downs, Jack Nazer Classic Taupo 25/26th April. At these we will run BMW classes and ERC and while COD’s for these classes are not mandatory the cars competing in most cases could get COD’s. Race meeting organisers do need classes to combine as entry fees cannot keep rising.

  • 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.

Free from the constraints of convention and empowered by the skills gained from decades spent at the pinnacle of Formula OneTM, we knew that to create the world’s first no-compromise sports car we had to form a visionary new sports car company. McLaren Automotive was born. The first and most important decision we made was to equip our team of designers and engineers with the ultimate creative resource: a clean sheet of paper. Underpinned by considerable investment, some of the brightest and bravest minds in the automotive industry set to work on creating a sports car like no other. Four years later, the result is what we’ve come to refer to as the ‘AND’ car. It’s a small word, but one that carries huge significance. We passionately believe that our commitment to innovation, our obsessive attention to detail and our exacting standards have resulted in a car that surpasses the highs you have experienced in previous sports cars.

    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust June / July 2014, Issue #2 Farewell Sir Jack 1926 - 2014 Along with the motorsport fraternity worldwide I was extremely saddened to th hear of Sir Jack’s recent passing on the 19 May. The McLaren family and Jack have shared a wonderful life-long friendship, starting with watching his early racing days in New Zealand, then Pop McLaren purchasing the Bobtail Cooper from Jack after the NZ summer racing season of 1957. For the following season of 1958, Jack made the McLaren Service Station in Remuera his base and brought the second Cooper with him from the UK for Bruce to drive in the NZIGP which culminated in Bruce being awarded the Celebrating 50 Years of “Driver to Europe”. Jack became his mentor and close friend and by 1959 McLaren Racing Bruce joined him as teammate for the Cooper Racing Team. The rest, as we say, is history but the friendship lived on and the BM Trust Following on from their Tasman Series was delighted to host Jack in New Zealand for a week of motorsport memories success, the fledgling BMMR Team set about in 2003 with Jack requesting that the priority of the trip was to be a visit to their very first sports car race with the Zerex see his “NZ Mum” Ruth McLaren, who, by then, was a sprightly 97 years old. th Special – on April 11 1964 at Oulton Park and I shared a very special hour with the two of them together and the love and this was a DNF/oil pressure.

  • The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich
    The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich In Late 1962 Garrie Cooper sent a number of Elfin products to the Sydney Motor show to display what the South Australian manufacturer was producing at that time. On the stand were 2 Formula Juniors, one with the normal 1100cc engine the other with 1475cc, a Clubman and a rolling chassis with gearbox fitted. At the conclusion of the Motor Show, Elfin invited all the leading drivers to Warwick Farm to test the 3 cars. The Elfin stand Sydney Motor Show later September 1962 SCW On the Test day quite a few of the leading drivers of the time turned up to sample what Elfin had produced. These included Johnny Martin, David McKay, Alan Ferguson, Charlie Smith, Doug Kelly, Bruce Polain, Arnold Glass, Peter Williamson and of course Frank Matich and others. In the end Garrie Cooper saw that Matich had got the most out of the cars that day and asked him to be their agent for NSW and to use the cars in competition to further expose Elfin to the wider racing fraternity. Elfin FJ 625 becomes the "Works" 1500 Driver Frank Matich After the test day, Garrie left 625 (now fitted with the 1500 engine) in Matich's care to run in the Hordern Trophy race in mid October. 627 returned with Garrie to the factory to have modifications made to it at Matich's suggestion. Apparently Frank had a few tricks he wanted to try in the other chassis and Garrie took it back to Adelaide to incorporate them.
