Kessel is pleased to announce its appointment as an Official Service Support Centre for Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), strengthening a connection that began nearly fifty years ago and now finds its natural continuation.
A Historic Bond Renewed After Fifty Years
The bond between Kessel and Gordon Murray began in 1976, when Loris Kessel entered Formula 1 behind the wheel on the Brabham BT44, engineered by a young and talented Gordon Murray who would go on to become one of the most brilliant minds in motorsport and beyond.
The passion and determination they shared on track then are the same values that inspire today’s renewed collaboration and brand-new partnership between Kessel and Gordon Murray Automotive.
GMA’s philosophy focused on performance, aerodynamics, and lightweight engineering aligns naturally with Kessel’s commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and technical excellence.
Racing DNA is another strong link. GMA was born with a racing soul, the same spirit that has defined Kessel from the very beginning and continues to thrive through Kessel Racing, a major player in international GT endurance competitions for over 25 years.
Through this appointment, Kessel becomes a central point of reference for GMA customers across Europe, offering certified expertise, uncompromising quality standards, and a tailor-made service that fully respects the vision of both brands.
Ronnie Kessel, CEO of the Group, commented: “We are truly proud of the trust GMA has placed in us. It is a brand that feels very close to Kessel’s identity, and we are thrilled to begin this new partnership. Some stories never really end. They simply wait for the right moment to start again. This is a new chapter in the story of Kessel and Gordon Murray.”
