From a New Zealand racer's practical dream to one of Formula One's most celebrated institutions, Papaya, Carbon Fibre, and Grand Prix Glory tells the full story of Britain's most innovative racing team in a polished, fact-based narrative.

Founded by Bruce McLaren in the 1960s, the team grew from a small, ambitious racing operation into a Grand Prix powerhouse. Its history spans the first Formula One victory at Spa in 1968, Can-Am dominance, the loss of its founder at Goodwood, the championship breakthroughs of Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt, the Ron Dennis revolution, the carbon-fibre MP4/1, the TAG-Porsche turbo years, the legendary McLaren-Honda era of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, the Mika Häkkinen revival with Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton's dramatic 2008 title, the painful years of decline, and the modern papaya return to the front.
