The CBE awarded to Professor Gordon Murray in the 2019 Queen's New Year Honours is for 'Services to Motoring'. That may be a broad accolade but it's perfectly suited to the hugely talented South African and his contribution to many spheres of motoring, including racing.
The Gordon Murray Group has broken substantial new ground in urban mobility with low cost/emission vehicles, the design division introducing iStream, a process that represents a fundamental rethink about the way cars are designed, developed and manufactured. Much of this is driven (no pun intended) by the Formula 1 technology Murray embraced during his association with 56 victories in Grand Prix racing.
