A living legend in his native New Zealand, Greg Murphy is very much a fan favourite on both sides of the Tasman.

His move last year to driving the Pepsi Max Crew Commodore for Kelly Racing saw him saved from potentially sitting on the sidelines for 2011 and the re-unification of Murphy with his former Kmart Racing teammates Rick and Todd Kelly proved to be a winner.

A gripping pole and podium result at Bathurst – coupled with a strong Gold Coast with international Corvette ace Oliver Gavin – proved that the four-time Bathurst winner still has what it takes.

First coming to notice in Australia in open wheelers, Murphy spent two seasons driving Audis for Brad Jones Racing in Super Touring before moving to the Holden Racing Team in 1997 in V8 Supercar racing.

Winner of the Sandown 500 in 1996 and 1997 alongside Craig Lowndes, Murphy found himself without a drive in 1998 and, after attempting to create a career overseas, the Kiwi focused his attentions on Australia and spent two seasons with Gibson Motorsport before the Kmart Racing Team was established in 2001 alongside the Holden Racing Team in the same business park in Clayton as part of TWR Australia.

The Kiwi had plenty of great results with the team, including back-to-back Bathurst wins with Rick Kelly in 2003/2004, and finished runner-up in the championship in 2002/03 before heading to two largely unsuccessful seasons with Supercheap Auto/PWR Racing.

He moved to Tasman Motorsport – later known as Sprint Gas Racing – for 2007 and success has generally eluded Murphy ever since, with the team closing down at the end of 2009.

The Kiwi is entering his 15th season full-time in the V8 Supercars Championship and his championship result of 13th in 2011 was his best in some four years.
