Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring

At the age of thirty-one Bruce McLaren is at the top in the world of motor racing. He was the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. He started his own racing team three years ago and won the twenty-four-hour race at Le Mans. He won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa last year in a car of his own design. Now he is Britain's biggest builder and exporter of two-seater sports-racing cars.
