  • Inspiration Presentation
    Inspiration Presentation Aaron Irwin My Influence • For my presentation I chose Murray Walker. Famous commentator and journalist within the Motorsport world. • Walker commentated on races from 1948- 2001 and always displayed enthusiasm. • He’s my inspiration because he was so passionate about Formula One his whole life. Mindmapping I created a mindmap to lay out all my ideas for my project, such as what to include in every section of my Immersive Web Experience (IWE) Mindmapping • By mapping out my IWE, I’ve found it easier to compartmentalise the aspects of Murray Walker’s long career. • My idea is take the reader on a progression of his career, beginning in his youth, showing his brief army and advertising career before focusing mainly on his motorsport commentary career. • However should the reader decide to skip to a certain section they are able to. This is my home page for my IWE. When readers open the file, this is the page which will greet them. A loading bar will appear across the bottom to let the reader know when it’s loaded. In order to start the IWE, the reader will click on the ‘Go, Go, Go!’ section. I chose this due to it being one of Murray’s famous catchphrases when commentating. In the bottom left corner is an option to mute the background noise, which will be famous snippets from his commentary career. Once the button is clicked it will take you to this page. Which gives a brief overview of why he’s so famous. Again commentary will be playing in the background with the option to mute it.

  • Graham Walker (1897–1962)
    Graham Walker (1897–1962) Graham William Walker was a well known figure in the motor cycling world with successful careers as a racer, journalist and broadcaster. To the current generation he is perhaps best known as the father of the popular motor sports commentator Murray Walker. Graham Walker was the son of William Walker of Aberdeen, a company secretary of the Union Castle shipping line. He developed a passion for motor cycles at an early age, joining the Royal Engineers during World War I where he became a dispatch rider, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was later injured in the leg by an enemy shell, necessitating the use of a modified brake pedal throughout the rest of his riding career. Whilst convalescing from his injuries in England he met and eventually married Elsie Spratt. They had one son, Graeme Murray Walker, born in 1923. During the early 1920s Walker was a works rider for the Birmingham based Norton Company, achieving some success including a second place in the 1923 Isle of Man Sidecar TT. In 1925 he moved to Wolverhampton and took a position as Competitions Manager and rider for the Sunbeam Company. He was the European 500cc Champion in 1927. In 1928 came another move, this time to take up the post of Sales & Competitions Director with Coventry-based Rudge. Walker continued his racing career, retiring from the lead in that year’s Senior TT only a few miles from the finish line in Douglas. A few weeks later he achieved a thrilling victory in the Ulster Grand Prix, competing with Charlie Dodson for the lead for over two hours and attaining an average speed of over 80mph/128.75kph!

  • Motorsport Legend Murray Walker Is Reunited with His Past at the Royal Automobile Club Dinner
    Friday 25 April: For Immediate Release Motorsport legend Murray Walker is reunited with his past at the Royal Automobile Club dinner Retired motorsport commentator Murray Walker was surprised and overwhelmed last night when, as guest of honour at a Royal Automobile Club dinner, when he was reintroduced to one of his father’s old racing motorcycles. The bike was one of a group of his late father’s Rudge motorcycles that the Club had assembled as a surpise for Murray. To millions, the name Murray Walker is synonymous with Formula One, but as the son of Graham Walker, the succesful motorcycle racer of the Twenties and Thirties, Murray’s first love was bikes and his early career centred around motorcycling. Indeed the king of F1 commentary often said; ‘four wheels good, two wheels better.’ Another bike in those assembled had been specially shipped over from Australia for the occassion and hasn’t been seen in the UK for over 60 years. The collection included: 1932 Isle of Man TT Senior Race, with a top speed speed of 76.36mph (finished 6th) 1933 Rudge TT replica 1934 Tyrell-Smith motorcycle (6th in the Ulster Grand Prix and won the Australian TT) 1935 TT Rudge Replica racer, one of only ten made Murray was obviously deeply moved by the sight of the old racing warhorse. ‘For once I’m almost speechless,’ said the 90 year-old broadcaster. ‘This is absolutely astounding. My father was a great man to me. I have fifteen silver replicas of his TT bikes and to see these here together after all these years is overwhelming.’ Graham and Murray Walker Murray’s late father Graham Walker was a motorcycle despatch rider for Royal Engineers Signal Service during the First World War.

  • Franco and Formula Fun" Children's Range Brings F1 Off the Track And
    Franco and Formula Fun™ children's range brings F1 off the track and into the playroom "CanI play with your Ferrari please Daddy?"It was this request, and subsequent denial, that set the wheels in motion for Franco and Formula Fun; a range of toys, books and interactive games that bring the thrill of F1 off the track and into the playroom for 3 to 6 year olds. UK (PRWebUK) March 27, 2009 -- "Can I play with your Ferrari please Daddy?" It was this request, and subsequent denial, that set the wheels in motion for Franco and Formula Fun; a range of toys, books and interactive games that bring the thrill of F1 off the track and into the playroom for 3 to 6 year olds. The question was asked by Bruno Nicholas to his F1 fanatic father, Simon, and referred to his somewhat valuable die-cast car collection. Bruno was taking a healthy interest in the sport that so consumed his father, and Marina Nicholas helped her son to understand the teams, their characters and used the natural travelling element of the sport to educate her son on the geography and culture of the F1 destinations. What started as a boy's enthusiasm in his father's passion is now being launched as an entire children's educational and play range inspired by the F1 phenomenon. The Franco and Formula Fun experience encompasses ten racing car characters. Franco, the lead character, is a red Italian car who travels to seventeen racetracks around the world with his friends. Each character is the hero of a book and will soon be available in toy form so that die cast cars remain on the shelf and children can re- enact the crashes and bashes of a race with their own Formula Fun cars.
