Back To Front Poem

Rugby is the worst sport ever  it is no fun
all of that is just a lie

passing scoring kicking is fun
rugby is the number 1 sport

its all a lie that
rugby is a dangerous sport

its the best to play
no one will ever say

rugby is a bad sport

Bruce McLaren was born in Auckland. He attended Meadowbank Primary School. At the age of nine Bruce unfortunately contracted a disease named ‘perthes disease’. He got this disease in his hip which led to him having his left leg shorter than his right. Bruce's parents owned a petrol station when he was young and he started to develop his passion for cars and motorbikes. When he was awarded his driver's license he would go down in every little bit of his spare time to the car workshop or car club.

Bruce at the age of 14 Bruce claimed an old aging Austin 7 Alster, which he modified and used in his first event which was a hill climb. Two years later, he raced in his first real race which showed he may have a promising career. As the years passed, Bruce got better and better at racing. He improved car racing categories and soon he was into the F2 season. He improved so much that he came runner up in the NZ series.

Bruce soon got his name spread around New Zealand as a upcoming driving legend. He entered into the Grand Prix in 1958. His effort was noticed by Jack Brabham, who later invited Bruce to race for him. People thought he would be the best in the world. He stayed with them for seven years and soon moved on to F1. At the age of 22 he was the youngest Grand Prix winner.


Bruce had soon been one of the best race car driver in the world. He decided to make his own and as most business owners do he named it after his last name. His brand was a big hit he was always trying to make futuristic models. His brand has been a top brand with some very expensive cars. Bruce ended up dying. He died in one of his races. It was a big shock to lots of people but his company kept going and still does making some of the best and coolest cars.
