Gordon Murray is a man you should be familiar with. Not only did he design the McLaren F1 but he designed nearly two-dozen Brabham Formula 1 cars from 1973 to 1986, and co-designed two McLaren Formula 1 cars, the MP4/3 and the MP4/4 (the car that took McLaren to the 1988 constructors’ championship and Ayrton Senna to the ’88 driver’s title). Considering his career began when he built and raced his own car in the late 1960s, he’s an interesting character to say the least, with a world of interesting tales to tell. We were all too happy to spend a few moments with him over the 77MM weekend.
