Career

[edit | edit source]

Karting

[edit | edit source]

Murray had a karting career which was mostly based in the UAE. He competed in Europe in the IAME Euro Series, however, taking a best race result of 17th in the series.[3]

Formula 4

[edit | edit source]

2022

[edit | edit source]

Murray made his car racing debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in the Formula 4 UAE Trophy Round, driving for Xcel Motorsport. He finished eighth and ninth in the two races respectively.[4]

2023

[edit | edit source]

It was confirmed that Murray would drive for Italian team Cram Motorsport for the full 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship season.[5] Murray would go on to get a best result of thirteenth place at Kuwait Motor Town as he finished 30th in the drivers' standings.[5] Over the course of the year, Murray made some sporadic F4 appearances whilst dedicating the year to testing Formula 4 cars.[1] He drove two rounds of the 2023 GB4 Championship with Graham Brunton Racing and driving a single round of the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship for Saintéloc Racing.[6]

2024

[edit | edit source]

On 24 November 2023, Hitech Pulse-Eight announced that Murray would be driving one of their four cars for the 2024 Formula 4 UAE season.[7] This proved to be a breakthrough season for Murray, as he scored twelve points with a best result of fifth at the Yas Marina Circuit on his way to nineteenth in the drivers' championship.[8]

GB3 Championship

[edit | edit source]

On 26 February 2024, Murray announced his graduation from Formula 4 to the GB3 Championship, as he moved to Chris Dittmann Racing for the full 2024 season.[2] Murray had a strong debut, with a best result of seventh at Oulton Park in Cheshire, against more experienced opposition.[9] However, Murray had a tough remainder of the season, and did not better this result as he finished eighteenth in the standings, although he finished ahead of his Filipino teammate Flynn Jackes.[10]

Indy NXT

[edit | edit source]

2025

[edit | edit source]

In 2025, Murray switched stateside for his racing programme, competing in the Indy NXT with Andretti Cape Indy NXT.[11] Murray struggled in the first half of the season, as he only finished inside the top ten once. In the eighth round of the season at Mid-Ohio, Murray was racing with teammate Ricardo Escotto on lap 4 when their tires made contact, just as Escotto was attempting to overtake Murray. The two cars spun directly into the barriers, and Murray's car got airborne upon impact and flipped upside-down before coming to rest in the middle of the track.[12] Murray was not cleared to race at Iowa Speedway the following week.[13]

2026

[edit | edit source]

Murray remained with Andretti for the 2026 Indy NXT season.[14]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Murray's younger brother Max is currently karting in the UAE.[15]
