The team at Gordon Murray Automotive has established a tradition of presenting something exciting during Goodwood’s motorsport season opener, and this trend is set to continue at the 82nd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport.
It wouldn’t be a Spring weekend in April without a sea of daffodils, or the sound of GMA’s sumptuous 3.9-litre Cosworth V12. Whether it’s in the back of the T.33, the T.50 or the T.50s, that engine is one of the greatest sounding engines on the planet, and we’re going to have the chance to experience it once more on the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Four-time IndyCar Champion Dario Franchitti, who has been involved in the development of all of GMA’s cars, will climb into the driving seat of the T.50s, the car that was launched last year at the 81st Members’ Meeting, for a series of demonstration laps on both Saturday and Sunday.
But if one howling V12 wasn’t enough, GMA has seen fit to reward us with another, as Dario and the T.50s will be joined on the Motor Circuit by the T.33 first seen at Goodwood in 2022.
In anticipation of this moment on the Motor Circuit, The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: “We are delighted to welcome Gordon and his team to the Members’ Meeting for the fifth consecutive year.
“Our guests always look forward to seeing the iconic and unique cars Gordon has designed up close, and having witnessed the debut of the T.33 Spider and T.50s in recent years, the on-track moment will be nothing short of fantastic.”
Away from the action on track, GMA will have a substantial presence around the Members’ Meeting site. Members of the GRRC will have the opportunity to get up close to both the T.50s and T.33, while a separate display in the paddocks will showcase the extraordinary near-60-year timeline of Gordon Murray’s work in design and engineering.
All of this will take place among a packed Members’ Meeting schedule that will include a celebration of Ayrton Senna’s first Grand Prix win, which will see the car he drove to victory at the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix sent out on the Motor Circuit for a series of emotional laps in the hands of Bruno Senna.
Also planned are demonstrations of Hertz Team Jota’s new Cadillac V-Series.R Hypercar, and what’s bound to be a dramatic inaugural running of the GT3 Shoot-Out.
The 82nd Members’ Meeting will take place on 12th and 13th April 2025 and tickets are now available for Members and Fellows of the GRRC.
