Goodwood is pleased to announce that Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) will return to the Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport to showcase an outstanding array of cars.

Taking centre stage at the 82nd Members’ Meeting will be the GMA T.33 and T.50s Niki Lauda, with the duo lapping the historic Motor Circuit across the weekend. IndyCar Series Champion Dario Franchitti will get behind the wheel of the T.50s – which he unveiled alongside Professor Gordon Murray and The Duke of Richmond at the 81st Members’ Meeting in 2024 – for a high-octane demonstration.

Following its public debut at the 78th Members’ Meeting in 2021, Gordon Murray Automotive is more than halfway through customer car production of the highly exclusive 100-model run of T.50 supercars. Members’ Meeting attendees can look forward to an auditory delight as GMA V12 engines come to life around the historic Motor Circuit.

The Goodwood Road Racing Club and their guests will be able to view the T.33 supercar, T.50s track car and a range of beautifully-engineered GMA V12 engines, which will be on display on the Brooklands Lawn. The nearby paddocks will showcase an eclectic selection of cars from Professor Gordon Murray’s personal collection that each have served as inspiration for his six decades of lightweight design and engineering art.

In recent years, GMA has selected the Members’ Meeting as the place to unveil its exceptional cars, including the public debut of the T.50 (2021), T.33 (2022), T.33 Spider (2023) and the global dynamic debut of the T.50s at the 81st Members’ Meeting (2024).

Speaking ahead of appearing at the event, Professor Gordon Murray CBE said: “Sharing our range of exclusive, lightweight, driver-focused supercars with our customers and the knowledgeable Goodwood audience is always a joy. Every time we fire up the T.50, T.50s Niki Lauda, or T.33 supercars it is a real treat for the eyes and ears, this year’s Members’ Meeting is set to be a fantastic way to mark 60 years of automotive design.”

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: “We are delighted to welcome Gordon and his team to the Members’ Meeting for the fifth consecutive year. Our guests always look forward to seeing the iconic and unique cars Gordon has designed up close, and having witnessed the debut of the T.33 and T.50s in recent years, the on-track moment will be nothing short of fantastic.”

Philip Lee, Gordon Murray Group CEO said: “The GMA business is proud of its heritage and the rich tapestry of road and race cars that have inspired the vehicles we build today. It’s almost a year since we moved T.50 manufacturing to our new Vehicle Production Centre at our new Highams Park Group Headquarters in Surrey and we’ve now delivered more than half the customer cars. Celebrating the unique sound and engineering art of our GMA line-up at Goodwood will set the scene perfectly as we focus on completing all T.50 customer vehicles this year.”

The Gordon Murray Automotive demonstration joins the previously announced Lotus 97T demonstrationGT3 competitive Shoot-Out, and all-sustainable fuel race list, including the new Win Percy Trophy.

Tickets for the 82nd Members’ Meeting are exclusively available to Goodwood Road Racing Club Members and Fellows here. Further information about joining the Fellowship, including the host of benefits on offer, is available here.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
