Alright when was that again.....?
- Thread starter Bram Hengeveld
- Start date
Like anyone of a certain age who watched or listened to motorsport it meant the voice of Murray Walker.
Sad to hear of his passing, as long as cars race he'll be remembered as F1's greatest commentator.

One of a group of legendary British gentlemen, the world is a worse place without the likes of Murray Walker and Stirling Moss.
I will never forget the August day in 2002 when, just having received a PS1, I went into Game to buy my brother a birthday present, F1 97, from the bargain bin, for £2.97. It was more of a present for me, because I have played it for thousands of hours since that day, accompanied by the voice of Murray Walker. No other commentator in F1 has come close to him.
A coincidence that he died at the gran old age of 97, what a life he led.
RIP

Just heard on the news.
He was and always will be, for me, the voice of motorsport. I grew up listening to him, no one has ever quite made the racing sound as exciting as he did (especially if you were listening on the radio and could'nt actually see it). His enthusiasm for the sport knew no bounds. R(ace).I.P. Mr Walker!

Sad news, he represented his country and formula one with class. He will be remembered as great member of the Grand Prix community. I couldn't look back on some of the great moments in F1 without without his voice. God bless and rest well!
Not at all, it's just hideous. I liked the silver base, and the black base, but having two base colors and two accent colors looks like a mess. If that wasn't bad enough, you throw on that disgusting swarm of AMG stickers. It looks like a 12 year old's first livery attempt in forza.
A life well lived...Murray.
U made f1 interesting and exciting with your commentary and the btcc wasn’t the same without u RIP
Wow - very sad news; a true legend - always remember listening to him commentate the best period in F1.
Cannot believe he was 97

I've heard the color described as Butterscotch or perhaps Apricot, Papaya. But the Orange, at least, is a traditional color of the company. Mclaren reverted to the Orange when it seemed like 3 or 4 teams all previewed Black liveries. Give me ANY color but black when being viewed on television. Up close in a perfectly lit display??? Shiney black works, but the point of a livery is instant recognition of fast moving objects. Mclaren's choice of ... Mandarin??? It does stand out!you who put the McLaren mdr the worst colours that can be there, orange and blue...it's a blind man who made the mix or they will lose a bet?
