Go! Go! Go! at the National Motor Museum with Murray Walker OBE tribute event

About Us

He was regarded by many as Formula 1’s greatest fan, a reputation gained through being identified as “the voice of Formula 1” for millions of fans around the world. For Murray Walker, motorsport on two wheels or four, and occasionally three was his life!

From grand prix cars to touring cars, rallying to rallycross, or motor cross to club and international motorbike racing, one voice, down the decades, captured the excitement of it all!

This event held in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, is designed to celebrate his life and his unique contribution to the sport. With insights from former colleagues, friends and fans alike, this is an event where we say a heartfelt “Thank You” to such a unique character.

FEATURES

Highlights of the evening, which is hosted by former grand prix driver, racer and TV presenter Tiff Needell include….

MURRAY MOMENTS

A further element to savour will be Murray Moments.
