Probably the best who should be known in the United States is Bruce McLaren. He designed and drove the Mclaren Can-Am cars in the 60's and 70's along with Denny Hulme who is also a New Zelander.

McLaren's dominated the series and the team eventually moved in to Formula One where it still runs.

Bruce McLaren died when he crashed his Can-Am car at Goodwood in England.

Denny Hulme had a heart attack while racing a BMW at Bathurst. He is actually the 1st ever past Formula One champion to die of natural causes in 1992
