McLaren M30

McLaren M30
The unique McLaren M30.

The McLaren M30 is a Formula One racing car built and run by McLaren for part of the 1980 Formula One World Championship. It was a one-off car, primarily driven by Alain Prost. The purpose of the M30 was to further capitalize on ground-effect design, taking over from the M29 which was perceived as obsolete.

The one and only M30 was damaged in an accident in practice for the United States Grand Prix. For the 1981 season McLaren returned to the M29 model. The McLaren M30 was the last new car completed by McLaren before Ron Dennis assumed leadership of the team the following year.

The car has since been raced, by Alo Lawler in England and then George Nuse in the U.S.
