Amanda is Bruce’s only daughter. Amanda was born in London, England, and grew up in Walton on Thames, Surrey, in a house called Muriwai, named after the beach where her father won his first race.

As a Registered Nurse, Amanda started her career in the Operating Theatre before moving on to more senior roles in Resuscitation, Occupational Health, and Emergency Management. After gaining her Masters of Nursing degree, Amanda worked in management, educational and leadership roles, and sat on New Zealand nursing and resuscitation advisory boards.

Amanda’s passion is anything with four wheels (ideally with a McLaren badge on it) or four legs. She is a horse owner and follows a philosophy of keeping a horse as naturally as possible and using psychology to educate and teach them.

Amanda and her husband Stephen both worked for McLaren Automotive in England as Brand Ambassadors. Despite having ‘retired’ from these roles, they are still attending events for the company and are now Brand Ambassadors for both McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing.

Amanda is also Patron of the Women’s Motor Racing Associates Club (“The Doghouse”) and of Motorsport Endeavour.

Amanda is delighted to have taken on the role of Trustee for the Bruce McLaren Trust and is excited to see it assisting young New Zealanders to achieve their dreams.

For nearly forty years Michael Clark has been dovetailing his professional life with a deep passion for motor racing. He has established a reputation as a respected historian, author, magazine contributor, commentator, and speaker that has enabled him to forge connections, and often close friendships, with a number of New Zealand's highest profile motorsport personalities.

Michael has worked as a registered valuer since 1982 and has served the Institute of Valuers as both a Branch Chairman and National Councillor. In addition to his new role as Chairman of the Bruce McLaren Trust, he is a Trustee of the Kiwi Driver Fund and Chairman of North Island Historic Ford, a category he has competed enthusiastically in since 2007.

He and his ever-supportive wife Sandy have three grown-up daughters and four grandchildren.

Stephen was born and raised in Auckland, the eldest of four boys. From a young age he had a passion for motor racing with bedroom walls covered with motor racing pictures and photographs and a collection of motor racing books which began with the book ‘Trio at the Top’. His career began teaching Physical Education at Papakura High School. A career change two years later saw him joining the New Zealand Police based in South Auckland.

A move to Wellington to join the Diplomatic Protection Squad proved to be a significant change for him. As a personal protection officer, his driving skills came to the fore and before long he was training staff and helping to run courses at the Royal New Zealand Police College. Selected to drive the Popemobile and the security car for the Queen were highlights for him. He was appointed as a Driving Instructor running Recruit Driving courses and a variety of Advanced Driving Courses. While working at the Police College he became involved with the Police Museum and became the Honorary Curator of Historic Police Vehicles.

He held positions as President of the Wellington BMW Car Club, Clerk of the Course which led to him organising and running Advanced Driver Training and Racecraft Skills courses.

Although Stephen left the Police and began to work for the New Zealand Olympic Committee, his interest in motorsport continued. Married to Amanda McLaren, they continued their involvement with motorsport events and driver training.

In 2014, they received an invitation and went to the UK to work as Brand Ambassadors for the newly formed McLaren Automotive. After seven and a half years, it was time to retire back to New Zealand but the retirement did not last long for them both.

A proposal to take over as trustees of The Bruce McLaren Trust was accepted and along with the continuing contact with McLaren and involvement in some of their events, McLaren felt that they would like to bestow the titles of Honorary Brand Ambassadors for Racing and Automotive.

He feels that the proposed new direction of the Trust will provide some very exciting opportunities and a much greater awareness of one of New Zealand’s real heroes. Stephen is looking forward to working with the other trustees to promote Bruce McLaren to New Zealanders and help them realise that the McLaren Formula One team and McLaren Supercar company of today was created by a New Zealander, Bruce McLaren.   

Warwick Mortimer has had a serious interest in motorsport since being a small boy attending the Ardmore GP back in the mid-1950s.

Warwick started go-karting from an early age – around 9 years old – in Rarotonga and has progressed through to rallying in New Zealand and overseas, winning a few rallies in Toyota Corollas and then in a Toyota Celica.

He returned back to New Zealand in the late 1970s when he changed to circuit racing in the Escort Sports Series with good success, and then into production car racing in events such as the Benson and Hedges through the 1980s and national and international events winning a few races and titles.

Warwick had a 9-year run in Formula 5000 in New Zealand North and South Islands, Australia at the Albert Park GP meeting, and he traveled to the UK and raced in the UK Formula 5000 at Alton Park and Brands Hatch, Silverstone.

Warwick is a BMW Race Drivers Series Open Class winner in a BMW GTR scoring many wins in his 5ltr car.

He has run a one-off Mazda 84 G at Goodwood in 2019 and run his Sierra Cosworth at many meetings with good results throughout New Zealand and is now in a BMW E30 Group A car.

Warwick has a good collection of race cars including a McLaren M8 E/F which he has run in New Zealand and considers this his best car.

Intermingled with his love for motorsport, his working life has been predominantly exporting New Zealand products and for the last 40 years, he has had ownership in export companies here and tourist businesses overseas.

Warwick is supported by Erin, his wife of 50 years, who is involved in all their businesses, and their two sons Dion and Andre. Dion runs his water export business with help from Warwick and Andre looks after their property portfolio with Warwick. Andre is an accomplished racer and title winner in his own right.

Warwick is thrilled with his appointment to the Bruce McLaren Trust and hopes that the new trustees will take greater steps to honour a great New Zealander and his amazing achievements in motorsport.
