Mike Goth's McLaren M1B. The Can-Am series was massively important to the early growth of the McLaren company. Not only did McLaren generate massive income through prize money and sponsorship, the company also contracted Peter Agg at the Elva/Trojan company to produce McLaren cars for selling to customers. McLarens success as a factory team meant customer sales were always strong, although Lola put up a good fight in the early years.

Note the tall rear spoiler on Goth's McLaren. Neat looking paint scheme too.
