Gordon Murray is undoubtedly one of F1's most renowned designers whose extraordinary talent spawned many race winners, and an iconic road car.

A unique event will showcase the legendary engineer's most celebrated designs, bringing together 50 years of Murray's innovative work.

To celebrate the launch of his new Gordon Murray Design company, Murray will put on display at Dunsfold aerodrome for a week in November 40 iconic road and race cars.

The exhibit will include the 1978 Brabham BT46B "Fan Car," a 1981 Brabham BT49C championship winner and Ayrton Senna's championship winning 1988 McLaren MP4/4.

"It will be a very proud and emotional day to see all these cars brought together," said Murray, "as they chart my professional life as well as my perspective over the decades on complex challenges in vehicle design and engineering."

The creator of the McLaren F1 road car will also bring the 1995 GTR Le Mans winner to the show, as well as various other racing examples of the iconic GT thoroughbred.

A few interesting one-off creations by Murray will also be on display to admire, while the designer is also promising to make "an exciting announcement concerning an all-new, groundbreaking vehicle" at the opening. 

After the exhibition, the Dunsfold facility will become the HQ for the 71-year-old's new design studio.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
