Murray developed a reputation for an innovative approach to design, applied not only to car concepts and details but also to race strategy. These designs include the extraordinary BT46B, also known as "the Brabham fan car", as well as the World Championship winning BT49 and BT52. There Murray designed many Grand Prix cars, some of which were World Championship Grand Prix winners. When Bernie Ecclestone took over the Brabham team, he appointed Murray Chief Designer. But Murray was offered a job at Brabham after coincidentally meeting then Brabham designer Ron Tauranac. Murray moved to England in 1969, hoping to find a job at Lotus Cars. He built and raced his own car, the IGM Ford, in the South African National Class during 19.įormula One career Brabham: 1969–1986 Murray studied mechanical engineering at Natal Technical College (now Durban University of Technology, which made Murray an Honorary Professor in 2002 and awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2011).
