After being behind the Chevy-powered Lola T-70s with his "McLaren-Elva Mk.1" and Oldsmobile powered "McLaren M1B" Bruce McLaren finally abandoned the lightweight aluminum Oldsmobile V-8 and introduced a new M1B with a Chevrolet engine also prepared by Traco, the McLaren-Elva Mk 2/McLaren M1B in September 1966.
Still using a tube-frame chassis, the M1B was designed around a Chevy engine, but a Ford or an Olds engine could also be installed. The new body design pratically eliminated the front-end lift that had plagued the M1A.

CanAm Races 1966 to 1973

This series, known as the “Can-Am”, the first and most impressive period lasted 9 seasons (1966-1974). It was the most famous Can-Am era. Group 7 sports racing cars were almost totally unrestricted and they were the quickest cars in the world at the time - quicker then F1 or sportscars running in the World Championship. Many top F1 drivers also raced in the Can-Am of those days.
