The risks are still there,&#8217; he says. &#8216;It\u2019s not like there\u2019s stupid risk, but I\u2019m very driven, and when I see an opportunity in which I can gain a spot and it\u2019s the right risk to take, I\u2019ll do it.

But the risks I take are calculated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jun\/05\/bruce-mclaren-1000th-gp-f1-motorsport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u2018It\u2019s like family\u2019: team Bruce McLaren built is carved in his image as they mark 1,000th GP (The Guardian)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When McLaren founded the team in 1963 they really were building from the ground up. &#8216;We started in a little workshop in New Malden,&#8217; recalled Ganley. &#8216;We had a portion of a contractor\u2019s shed so we were working among the bulldozers. The floor may have been concrete at one time but it was broken up so it was almost just dirt. There was a wooden work bench with a vice on it, a drill press and some welding bottles, the bare minimum of what we needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportscar365.com\/lemans\/wec\/hirakawa-toyotas-time-for-revenge-has-come-with-new-car\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hirakawa believes it\u2019s Toyota\u2019s \u2018time for revenge\u2019 with new car (Sportscar 365)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We don\u2019t want to lose; we hate to lose.
