Interview special: Dario Franchitti and Phil Lee from Gordon Murray Automotive

On this week's My Week In Cars podcast our hosts Matt Prior and Steve Cropley visit Gordon Murray Automotive, makers of the limited-edition T50 and T33 sports cars, to talk to two of the people behind the project.


Dario Franchitti is a four-time Indycar champion and three-time Indy 500 winner, who has now nearly full-time transitioned to being GMA's director of brand, performance and product. Also joining us is Phil Lee, the CEO of Gordon Murray Group.


Prior and Cropley also talk a little about their latest columns and the week's car news, including their thoughts on Jaguar's re-brand ahead of a new car unveiling next week.
