After back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the 2014 European Le Mans Series at Silverstone and Imola, McMurry was asked to join American [[Chris Dyson]] and Englishman [[Tom Kimber-Smith]] for the [[2014 24 Hours of Le Mans|82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans]] in the No. 42 LMP2 class entry by [[Greaves Motorsport]] from Peterborough, England.
After back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the [[2014 European Le Mans Series]] at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] and [[Imola]], McMurry was asked to join American [[Chris Dyson]] and Englishman [[Tom Kimber-Smith]] for the [[2014 24 Hours of Le Mans|82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans]] in the No. 42 LMP2 class entry by [[Greaves Motorsport]] from Peterborough, England.


The entry qualified 19th overall and 10th in class. When McMurry was handed the car by Kimber-Smith at about the 43 minute mark in the race, he became the youngest driver to ever participate in the race, breaking the record held by Mexican [[Ricardo Rodríguez (racing driver)|Ricardo Rodriguez]] and set 55 years earlier in 1959. Rodriguez was 17 years and 126 days old at the time.

Revision as of 09:10, 21 April 2024

Matthew Merrill McMurry (born November 24, 1997) is an American racing driver from Phoenix, Arizona, United States. In 2014 he became the first junior development driver for Dyson Racing[1] and a few months later at the age of 16 years and 202 days old became the youngest driver to participate in and finish the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] He is a second generation driver and son of Chris McMurry, LMP2 class winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2005. Matthew is an alumnus of The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at University of California, Irvine.[3]

Career

McMurry has been racing cars since age 14, competing in Formula Skip Barber, U.S. F2000 Championship, Formula Bondurant, Prototype Lites and the European Le Mans Series. Through age 16 he has total 71 car races with an 8% winning, 21% podium position and 10% fastest lap rate.[4] Prior to racing cars, he raced in karting from age 5-12, mostly locally in Arizona.

24 Hours of Le Mans

After back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the 2014 European Le Mans Series at Silverstone and Imola, McMurry was asked to join American Chris Dyson and Englishman Tom Kimber-Smith for the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans in the No. 42 LMP2 class entry by Greaves Motorsport from Peterborough, England.

The entry qualified 19th overall and 10th in class. When McMurry was handed the car by Kimber-Smith at about the 43 minute mark in the race, he became the youngest driver to ever participate in the race, breaking the record held by Mexican Ricardo Rodriguez and set 55 years earlier in 1959. Rodriguez was 17 years and 126 days old at the time.

After a 60+ minute pit stop during the 20th hour, the team finished the race 25th overall and 11th in class, having run over 2,600 miles. McMurry broke the record for youngest to finish the race, a mark previously set by American Gunnar Jeannette in 2000 at the age of 18 years and 44 days old.[5]
