Meet Murray Walker at Race Retro 2013
For fifty years, Murray commentated on Formula One with broadcasts being circulated all over the world.
Drivers and fans alike loved his distinctive, enthusiastic commentary style and his gentlemanly and considerate conduct, seeing the best in drivers who had attracted controversy. He rarely criticised drivers and preferred to give the benefit of the doubt in attributing blame for incidents.
Fans will have the chance to ask Murray all about his career, favourite moments and his thoughts on the drivers and teams for the 2013 season that will be about to begin shortly after the show. He will appear on the live interview stage for Q&A sessions as well as signing autographs and memorabilia for fans attending.
