Christian Murchison (born 1 November 1980) is a racing driver from Singapore.[1]
Biography
In 2003, Murchison finished 10th in the Eurocup Formula Renault V6 Championship. In 2000 and 2001, he was the runner-up in the Australian Formula Holden Championship for two year consecutive years. He finished 5th in the Australian Formula Ford Championship in 1999, and won the West Australian Formula Ford Championship in 1998. He was named "Rookie of the Year" in Formula Holden in 2000 and in Formula Ford in 1998. In six years of competitive kart racing from 1992–98, he won five West Australian state titles.
In 2006, Murchison was selected to drive for the newly formed A1 Team Singapore for the A1 Grand Prix of Nations 2006-7 season. He repaid the team's management by scoring the team's first points in Singapore's third A1 GP event by finishing 8th on the Beijing Street Circuit.
Murchison has also dabbled in V8 Supercars endurance events. In 2000 he drove for Perkins Engineering, and again in 2007 with Brad Jones Racing. He has three V8 starts to his name, with the fourth - the 2007 Bathurst 1000 - cut short due to a severe accident for co-driver Damien White in Friday practice.
Murchison was born in Singapore in 1980, but moved with his family to Perth, Australia, in 1991, where he began his motor-racing career. Murchison remains based in Western Australia, running a company specialising in RV fittings.[2]
Though required by law, Murchison has never discharged his national service liability.
