Remembering Bruce McLaren, who lost his life in a Goodwood testing crash in one of his own #CanAm cars #OnThisDay in ’70, & whose name lives on in #F1 glory 55 years later. All McLaren fans should mark this day with pride therefore. Here’s the #Autosport report of the tragedy.

Have you heard of Tex Hopkins? If you have, you know your racing 👏. If you haven’t, he was an American flag marshal, born #OnThisDay in 1915. Here he is jumping as exuberantly as ever, dressed as gloriously as ever, flagging home Peter Revson’s #CanAm McLaren at Watkins Glen in ’71.

Remembering Mark Donohue, born #OnThisDay in ’37. Truly versatile, he raced in #F1, #IndyCar , #Nascar, #TransAm, #IROC & #CanAm. Pic: Donohue & his Penske-run Porsche 917/30, Riverside CanAm ’73, all smiles, having won 5 of the previous 7 CanAm races. Riverside would be his 6th.

Patrick Tambay was a double #F1 GP winner, a double #CanAm champion, & a lovely guy. He died #OnThisDay 2 years ago - & I wrote a #MotorSport column about him #OnThisDay one year ago. ICYMI then, click below to read it now. www.motorsportmagazine.co….
