Frank Karl racing his McLaren M10B.
The 1970 McLaren M10B was the most successful model of Formula 5000 car until the appearance of the Lola T332 four years later. It won four International championships with four different drivers.
After the success of the M10A, Trojan announced plans to triple production to 50 cars for 1970. Motoring News (9 Oct 1969 p18) reported that the M10B "closely resembled" the M10A but incorporated many of the modifications made to the M10A during the 1969 season, including "redesigned front and rear suspension, re-styled body fairing, a new cooling system using an aluminium radiator, wheel sizes changed to 11in low off-set front and 16in rear". Also the tub "has been lightened and modified to accept immediate installation of a dry sump engine".
The prototype car won the 1970 and 1971 US championships, making it the most successful individual F5000 car of all time.
