The American company Klipsch continued its cooperation with the McLaren F1 team. His next result is 4 new items in the McLaren Legends Series. According to Klipsch, official partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Racing Team, the series epitomizes “the original triumph of Bruce McLaren and the pioneering spirit of Paul Klipsch’s sound.” More specifically, the four new Klipsch McLaren Legends Series are dedicated to Bruce McLaren’s No. 5 car, in which he won the title of the youngest Grand Prix winner in 1958.
