Born in December 1936, he attended Queen Mary's School for Boys before becoming an apprentice at the National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE).[2] In 1965 he followed his ex NGTE colleague Robin Herd to McLaren, working as his assistant.[3] In 1971 he became chief designer at McLaren, responsible for various models including the Indianapolis 500 M16 and world championship winning M23.[3] When McLaren merged with Ron Dennis's Project Four in 1980, Coppuck departed, rejoining Herd at March.[3] The following year he founded Spirit with March's Formula Two team manager John Wickham.[3] Spirit raced in Formula Two and then Formula One before Coppuck returned to March.[3][4] Coppuck's nephew Frank Coppuck is also a racing car designer.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title= Team Bosses: Gordon Coppuck |url= http://www.oldracingcars.com/teamboss/Gordon_Coppuck |work= OldRacingCars.com |accessdate= 2010-05-27}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Coppuck, Gordon}}2. ^{{cite book |first=Doug |last=Nye |authorlink=Doug Nye |title=McLaren: The Grand Prix, Can-Am and Indy Cars |publisher=Guild Publishing |year=1988 |origyear=1984 |edition=New |page=54 |isbn=0-905138-54-6}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web |url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/cref-copgor.html |title=PEOPLE: GORDON COPPUCK |work=grandprix.com |accessdate=2010-05-17}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/con-spiri.html |title=CONSTRUCTORS: SPIRIT RACING |work=grandprix.com |accessdate=2010-05-17}} 6 : 1936 births|Living people|English motorsport people|Formula One designers|People educated at Queen Mary's School for Boys, Basingstoke|McLaren people |
