Movie screenwriter William Goldman once said that, in Hollywood, nobody knows anything every time out it"s a guess and, if you"re lucky, an educated one." Motorsport is largely an engineering and scientific discipline, so Goldman"s law simply shouldn"t apply. Yet it often does.Sometimes, though, the stars align to spectacular effect. In creating 1988"s MP4/4, McLaren found itself at a once-in-a-generation intersection of technical genius, turbocharged firepower, and divine driving talent. Three names stand out: Gordon Murray, Honda, and Ayrton Senna, all at the peak of their considerable powers. Photos: Wilson Hennessy
