Every interview of Gordon that I watch or listen to solidifies his brilliance. Knowing he is a very capable automotive engineer and has worked hard to take part in the leading edge of that world for so long is highly respectable and frankly captivating. What I love most about his interview responses is the highly technical language he uses to describe aspects of cars he has worked on. Others tend to simplify the language they use but the ideas they express are simplified correspondingly.
A wonderful interview with an incredibly interesting man, I just love how down to earth he is, I was almost as if I was riding in the car with them listening to the conversation.
Because people only pretend to like the McLaren F1 because of the boatloads of money they fetch at auction. If they really appreciated the car for what it is, they would be hungry to learn more about its godfather, who is this man.
46:57 Funny how Gordon Murray had to think quite a bit when answering the question, when clearly he and his team were working on the T.50 that was revealed in August 2020!
@@prathameshpawaskar4136 So? Do you have any idea of how long a multi-million pound development project takes? You clearly don't work in the automotive industry lol.
"Proudly South-African"! Wonder just where SA would've been in the world, re motor racing, if we had the money to support the fantastic talent, of people like Gordon and many others, who have contributed so much to the car & racing world internationally...
Really enjoying the carpool videos, especially the technical detail in Gordon Murray's. Could you create a playlist for them so we can find them easily amongst all the other videos please?
I have been enjoying. Gordon Murray interveiws like this one and his build of his Cortina. In his Cortina build I love how he is a true designer "thinker" he absorbs Ideas and is open to new perspectives. I love his , inspiration is Colin Chapman , I always loved Colin seemed so DIY. I also liked eric broadleys LOLA GT of 1965. Ive had two Europa's..I rebuilt Thru the process you can see the thinking in the design . Ive restored also a twin cam Elan. I assembled a Caterham 7 . Running my own "Sports Car" restoration business for 20 years , I agree , problem solving is all I did and I still love problem solving. IM 62 and still love problem solving thru engineering and design. I liked Costin and Marcos I love Gordon lived thru the same Era I have....It why Ive worn out four copys of RUSH its a reliving of the era....great interveiw with a very interesting guy. I truely "enjoyed" this conversation.
ayy!! Mr. Murray, 1 of your great grandsons birthday was the other day. CONGRATULATIONS on being the worlds mostest #1 sustainable car desiigner. Your cars got heat, and are as safe as a shield. I Dig the palm trees dude Much Love Mr. Merraay
Mr McLaren himself was Bruce of that ilk. Top level race driver, engineer, car designer and fabricator, team manager and owner all in one. Look him up. (Not wishing to denigrate Gordon Murray in any way, of course)
I have only one reservation about the interviewer. 90% of the interviewing work was consciously stolen from Steve Rider who works at Sky Sports. I think that he and/or Sky Sports should have been mentioned at least once, since most of the material was basically stolen. Steve Rider had to work hard, I am sure, to put his interview together. Architects of F1, Gordon Murray episode is basically this interview, only with better quality.
I'd not seen the Architects of F1 interview. Your reply and comments prompted me to find it and watch it. I agree it's very similar content, although covering in much less detail than the Steve Rider interview. The Sky Sports programme was more in-depth and carried more historical footage and stills to support the interview. The history is already written so the content is likely to be very much the same, whoever the interviewer was. I preferred the Sky Sports interview as I found it more appealing. It was very well edited and produced and resulted in a much more compelling storyline. Appreciate you making me aware of its existence.
Hi Vacomments - I must admit that I've never seen Steve Rider's interview with Gordon. I probably should have watched it before I talked to him...! I can happily say I didn't steel anything, and I can also (not so happily) say that I should have spent more time researching. Now, if only we had Sky Sports' budget!
Was not the Bugatti EB110 the first all carbon fibre car, 1991-1995? Bugatti produced 139 road cars. No doubt the F1 is probably the best analog road car ever built. The Carrera GT was pretty good too. Amazing series, thankyou.
Kept his mouth shut pretty well when asked about “we’ll never see a car like the F1 again?”, true answer is of course “no, it’ll be cranked up to 20 compared to the F1!!”
Gordon Murray How about designing a small car with Hyrdropneumatic active suspension? Suspension technology in small cars is very old fashioned today and a long way behind where they should be in 2018
One of the greatest motoring legends. Thank you for interviewing Gordon Murray. He's such an inspiring character to listen to.
Cheers Dennis - fascinating to record!
It is always an absolute pleasure to listen to Gordon

Love Gordon Murray. Total Respect here...
This informal interview is really extraordinary. Murray informative about so many pivotal points in his career.
A wonderful interview with an incredibly interesting man, I just love how down to earth he is, I was almost as if I was riding in the car with them listening to the conversation.
How does this not have a million views
there are only 5,000 brilliant people on youtube...

@@DB-fn3fz Most yeah, you're very right.
Brabham and McLaren earned so much of their prestige thanks to this engineering genius
everytime i listen to gordon, i learn something important.
Great interview, enjoyed every minute of it!
Excellent interview of a genius !! Many thanks !!
Despite having watched Gordon Murray videos about his projects,background,F1 etc,I still listened avidly because he is absolutely fascinating!
Brilliant, fascinating and inspiring. Thanks to all involved.

I'd love to sit down and chat with Gordon some day. Great interview GRR.
One of the world's greatest design engineers no question,and seems a really nice guy that's happy in himself ?
Awaiting his next masterpiece in the T.50 road car with the fan aero.
I came here three years too late. The T.50 is already looking like a masterpiece. Looking forward to seeing the road tests.

Those have been my picks for over two decades !! :)
Wanted to hear his opinion the the type r!!!

I will say I don't know if you can call him Mr. McLaren but Mr.F1 would be better suited.

I have absolutely no reason to doubt your honesty. I withdraw from my original criticism.
I apologize.
No need to apologise!
Never designed an ugly car and for the most part only designed world beaters. I'd actually rate his achievements above Chapman, all things considered.

Can you please provide us with a link to the company Gordon is working with now?
Hi Philipp, not sure IGM has a website yet, but there's this one: www.gordonmurraydesign.com/en/?cultureKey=en
What car are they driving in? A Civic Type R??
I think so, yes
A beast!.
Yeah but did he like the Type R?

Weight reduction is everything!
It's a major part.
Is Le Mans the pinnacle of motorsport nowadays?
This would have been so much better if Ed Foster were a more relaxed driver.
