Greg Murphy started racing karts at the age of eight. Winning the inaugural Shell Formula Ford Scholarship in 1990 was his ticket to experiencing a real racing car for the first time and the beginning of a successful career in the sport. A seasoned driver in Australian V8 Supercars, Greg Murphy's mark on the sport is indisputable. With over 400 V8 Supercar race starts, multiple Bathurst 1000 wins and appointments with some the highest profile race teams in Australasia, Greg is rightfully considered one of the greats by fellow competitors and fans alike. Greg's flagrant disregard for detractors and adversity has resulted in some of his most memorable performances despite the odds.

Murph finished up his professional career at the end of 2014 as a co-driver with the team that gave him his first opportunity in a V8 SuperCar - The Holden Racing Team. He then spent five years working on the other side of the camera within the SuperCars Media TV Commentary Team.

Murph still has a passion for motorsport, still gets behind the wheel regularly, he went back to Bathurst in 2022 in a “Wildcard” entry driving with Countryman Richie Stanaway. He has a role as Motorsport Manager with the Tony Quinn owed Race Tracks in NZ and is a trustee with the Tony Quinn Foundation. Murph has co-hosted SkySpeed alongside Stephen McIvor for 10 years and continues to work alongside some big companies and brands in ambassadorial roles. He is also incredibly passionate about Road Safety and regularly campaigns for change to improve Driver Skills and Awareness and is a trustee for the StreetSmart driver training programme.
