The McLaren Story
McLaren Engine was created in 1969 when the company founder Bruce McLaren established a North American base to support its initiatives in the Can-Am and Indy racing series. McLaren had great success over the course of the next several years after which time, McLaren racing efforts were re-concentrated in Europe with a focus on F1. Today, the two McLaren entities co-exist in name only. McLaren Performance Technologies, as it is known today, has remained in the Detroit area.
