BRUCE MCLAREN TRIUMPHS AT TRAGIC MONACO GRAND PRIX, CLAIMS FIRST VICTORY AT THE LEGENDARY STREET CIRCUIT AMIDST CHAOS AND LOSS
The terraced landscape and narrow streets of the Mediterranean coastal Principality of Monaco played host to the F1 circus for the XX Grand Prix de Monaco, witnessing a pair of significant firsts. Scotland’s Jimmy Clark secured his first pole position for Colin Chapman and Team Lotus, while another legend earned their first win at the legendary street circuit.
Clark led from pole ahead of Britain’s Graham Hill's BRM and Kiwi Bruce McLaren's Cooper-Climax, with the trio pulling ahead of the pack. A chaotic start in the main group of cars saw an overzealous Ferrari overshoot the first corner, spin out, and trigger a chain reaction incident that tragically claimed a marshal's life. The top three remained unchanged as the Scotsman and Brit battled back and forth until mechanical gremlins ended their races.
McLaren, having been patient, inherited the lead but faced challenges from American Phil Hill and Italian Lorenzo Bandini in their V12 Ferraris. The jovial racer managed to hold off the Prancing Horses to clinch his sole victory at Monaco as a driver. Team McLaren would make its F1 debut at the Monaco Grand Prix a mere four years later and would go on to become the most successful team at the street circuit, racking up an impressive 15 wins over the last 60 or so years.
The Hat is an adjustable YP Classic 100% cotton, flat billed, 5-panel Baseball Cap that will accept a curve. The woven patch is produced with a High Density Damask Weave resulting in HD lettering and graphics.

Damask Woven Patch
To create patches capable of capturing the high definition of print material, Damask woven patches were chosen over other methods because they are high-quality, durable fabric patches. This technique produces tight, smooth, and finely detailed pattern fabric, often with a luxurious feel. “Damask” refers to the process developed in early medieval Byzantium, specifically in Damascus, but today, these patches are produced on computerized Jacquard looms. This weave is advantageous as it allows designs to be woven directly into the fabric using very fine thread rather than just
