About this listen
Greg Murphy is one of New Zealand’s most iconic motorsport figures — a four-time Bathurst 1000 winner whose name is etched into history thanks to his legendary “Lap of the Gods” in 2003.
In this episode, Murph opens up about:
+ The story behind Lap of the Gods and how it changed his career forever
+ His friendship with the late Peter Brock and what he learned from him
+ Holden vs Ford rivalries, brutal penalties, and why today’s racing feels “sterile”
+ The crash at 16 that nearly ended everything — and how it sparked his lifelong passion for road safety
+ Why he believes New Zealand roads are more dangerous than racing tracks, and what needs to change
+ Balancing fame, family, and mental health in a high-pressure career
From adrenaline-fuelled wins to raw reflections on loss, politics, and purpose, this is Greg Murphy like you’ve never heard him before.
