Born 84 years ago today, Howden Ganley claims nobody remembers him as a racer, but as one of the sport's formative Kiwi innovators, he became a lynchpin of some of the finest teams, as he recounts in today's Great Read
In 1964 Ganley got a call from Bruce McLaren and was one of the first four people, all Kiwis, to join the expanding McLaren team. He started as a fabricator, graduated to mechanic, and stayed three years before leaving to focus on his desire to race.
Not only did his talent and determination take him all the way to Formula 1, with BRM, Williams, March and Maki, but he came second at Le Mans for Matra and later partnered with Tim Schenken to become a manufacturer with Tiga Race Cars.
