1969 Can-Am season
Encyclopedia
The 1969 Canadian-American Challenge Cup season was the fourth season of the Can-Am auto racing
series. It consisted of FIA Group 7
racing cars running two-hour sprint events. It began June 1, 1969 and ended November 9, 1969 after eleven rounds.
This was the first season of Can-Am following the demise of the similar United States Road Racing Championship
. With several USRRC events choosing to continue on under Can-Am, the series schedule was greatly expanded beyond its normal six event season. This also meant that the season was run over a greater period of time, rather than just being run in the autumn.
The season was swept by McLaren, whose founder Bruce McLaren
won the championship over teammate and fellow New Zealander Denny Hulme
. McLaren won six races to Hulme's five, winning the championship by a mere five points.
