Murphy appointed 2024 VAILO Adelaide 500 'Fanbassador'

Supercars legend Greg Murphy has been announced as the 'Fanbassador' for the upcoming VAILO Adelaide 500, which celebrates 25 years in 2024.

The four-time Bathurst winner finished second in the inaugural two-part event in Adelaide 1999.

Murphy follows countryman Scott McLaughlin (2022) and 1996 Bathurst winning co-driver Craig Lowndes (2023) as Adelaide Fanbassadors.

As part of his Fanbassador role, Murphy will connect with Supercars fans by providing his point-of-view on the racing and rivalries, as well as bringing them behind-the-scenes content as the season finale unfolds.

He will also share his expert analysis at the end of each day’s on-track action across the Adelaide 500’s social media channels, and engage fans during the event with guest interviews.

A 28-time Supercars race winner, Murphy will also appear at hospitality suites at the event, as well as the 25 Years Legends Luncheon.

"I am excitedly looking forward to being part of the 25-year celebrations for the iconic and much-loved event," the Kiwi said.

“I was fortunate enough to race in the inaugural event in 1999, and it is still one of my most memorable podium experiences thanks to the amazing atmosphere created by the incredibly enthusiastic fans.

“The current Repco Supercars Championship has been an enthralling watch in 2024, and with it tight at the top of the driver’s standings it’s likely to go down to the streets of Adelaide as the decider.

"Supercars fans are so passionate, so I’m looking forward to getting amongst it and going ALL IN for the entertainment that’s on and off track."

Tickets for the upcoming Adelaide event, on November 14-17, are on sale now.
