Mclaren Celebrates 60th Anniversary with Largest Gathering of McLarens

What better way to celebrate than to gather some of Mclaren’s finest machinery?

McLaren Singapore recently hosted its local 60th-anniversary celebrations with the largest gathering of McLarens in the country.

The special event took place on May 26, 2023 at Gillman Barracks, and featured over 40 Mclaren models arranged in a ‘60’ formation’. Cars in the formation included models from the Ultimate Series such as the Senna, all the way to the latest hybrid Artura supercar.

After an eventful photo-taking session, the Mclaren owners were then treated to a nice dinner hosted at Hopscotch.

Bruce McLaren, a New Zealand-born racer and engineer, was the brainchild behind the supercar marque you see before you today. Mclaren was founded in 1963, and since its inception, the racing team based in England remains one of the world’s most successful names in motorsport. It is also the only brand with the coveted ‘Triple Crown of Motorsport” achievement under its belt.

What's the triple crown achievement? Well, it’s motorsport’s ultimate popularity contest, covering the three single greatest motor racing challenges on the planet, as chosen by fans. These are the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix.

Winners are very few and forever immortalised, and only one team has ever clinched this elusive award - Mclaren.

The Mclaren 60th anniversary festivities are set to continue across the remainder of 2023, with various owner-centric events in the works.
