Back in 1974, McLaren performed a feat that very few teams have achieved in motorsport - winning both the Indy 500 AND the F1 Championship in the same year, with the McLaren M16 and M23 cars respectively.

Kevin Turner spent the day with McLaren at Pembrey Circuit to view these cars in action on track and find out everything to do with these title-winning machines.
Many thanks to McLaren for inviting us out for the day!
