Chassis:
Reportedly Fittipaldi's favourite M23, chassis 5 was the first new car built for his 1974 World Championship winning campaign. He used it to score Grand Prix wins in Brazil and Belgian, while he also won a non-championship event in Brasilia. In addition to the two Grand Prix wins, Fittipaldi also placed M23-5 on the podium at Jarama and Zandvoort. Following an engine-related retirement in the French Grand Prix, the fifth McLaren M23 was not raced again. Chassis M23-5 was subsequently part of the hugely impressive Jacques Setton collection but in more recent has been re-acquired by McLaren. At the two most recent Goodwood Festivals of Speed, Fittipaldi was reunited with the M23 that helped him score the World Championship in 1974.
