In memory of Bruce McLaren

"Life is measured in achievement, not years alone."

Car belonging to Bruce Leslie McLaren, founder of McLaren, who won the team's first win with the M7A in Spa-Francorchamps, 9th of June, 1968.

Wiki:

The McLaren M7A and its M7B, M7C and M7D variants were Formula One racing cars, built by McLaren and used in the world championship between 1968 and 1971. After two relatively unsuccessful years of Formula One competition, the M7A was used to score McLaren's first win at the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix.

Designed by Robin Herd and Gordon Coppuck, the M7A was the first McLaren to be powered by the Cosworth DFV engine, which went on to be used by the team until 1983. The M7B had outboard fuel tanks and the M7C a modified chassis, whilst the M7D was powered by an Alfa-Romeo engine.

The M7A made its Grand Prix debut at the second race of the 1968 world championship. After its victory in Belgium, it took another two wins that year, helping to place McLaren second in the Constructors' Championship.

    @F1Fan8910 I am not saying it does not work, the structure is not correct and therefore the dynamics are compromised.
