McLaren has revealed a special edition of its car for the Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix as part of the brand’s 60th anniversary.
The new factory is identical to that of the Indianapolis 500 and pays homage to the “Triple Crown” of motorsport. It is also a reference to the orange and white Marlboro car used in the 1984 Monaco GP, which was won by Alain Prost. The color scheme is also associated with Johnny Rutherford’s 1974 Indianapolis 500 victory, as well as the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans victory won by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya.
It is a story of victory. Of decision. Of patience. Of pride.
