 Team McLaren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McLaren, founded in 1963 by Bruce McLaren (1937–1970), is a racing team based in Woking, England, which is best known as a Formula One constructor but has also competed in the Indianapolis 500, Canadian-American Challenge Cup, and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The team is managed by Ron Dennis and is controlled by McLaren Racing, a member of the McLaren Group.
The team began the 2004 Formula One season with the M/P4-19, which technical director Adrian Newey described as a "debugged version of the M/P4-18." This proved to be anything but the case, and a new car was required by mid-season.
