  • Having agreed to officially open the new Thruxton Centre, alongside Nigel Mansell, as part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration (2/3 June 2018) Murray sat down with Tiff and talked about his memories of Thruxton, famous drivers, BTCC and F1.
    It was a huge privilege to be able to hear Murray recall stories from years gone by, we could listen to him all day! We look forward to welcoming Murray back to Thruxton in June.
    Advance tickets for the 50th Anniversary Celebration are on sale now: thruxtonracing.co.uk/racing/5...

    So sad to hear that we have lost Murray, a wonderful man and brilliant broadcaster, he must have added 50% to the viewing figures for F1 and made it seem exciting, amazing and unmissable. RIP Murray, we miss you already.😔

    I reckon he could've still given a cracking commentary at that age. Sharp as a tack, clear voice, perfect recollection. He must've been the #1 British motorsport fan of all time, let alone the greatest commentator.

    Great stuff! Back in 1993 Damon Hill was indeed driving the FW15C, it was an active-suspension car, and also I can clearly recall hearing the sound of its traction control (until he turned it off to do some spin-turns at Campbell/Cobb/Seagrave and at the chicane on his last lap).

    Condolencies to the Walker family for having lost such a big part of your life and family. The petrolhead community feels your loss as we know we have lost a broadcasting legend who cannot be replaced nor should he be. Having grown up with Murray commentating I know formula one wouldnt have been the same without him, and as good as todays presenters are, each in they're own way, none have the same passion which Murray couldnt help share with the listener. Thats what any petrolhead loved about Murray, RIP Sir.
