Motivational story of a true legend who is founder of one of the most innovative and successful formula 1 racing team of all time.

Dwelling more on the good times than the bad, the particular charm of this book is that Young devotes almost as much time to Bruce McLaren the race-team principal as he does McLaren the driver. The title is also a note that the one thing Young is not dwelling on is McLaren's death in a testing accident.

Another classic book about classic F1 and CanAm racing. Bruce was a CanAm champ and car constructor. His company continues to excel in formula 1.
