The Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard has unveiled its 2025 Central Feature which celebrates 60 years of Professor Gordon Murray's automotive design career. The sculpture, designed by Gerry Judah, is sponsored by Gordon Murray Automotive, and features a GMA T.50 and Brabham BT52.
For six decades, Gordon Murray has been inspired and influenced by his signature lightweighting ethos, first as a Technical Director in Formula 1 - at Brabham and McLaren Racing - where he designed five championship-winning cars (1981, 1983, 1988, 1989 and 1990); going on to establish McLaren Cars Limited where he designed the legendary F1; before founding Gordon Murray Design in 2007, later Gordon Murray Automotive.
