Since 1981, when the Atlanta resident first stepped into a Formula Ford, Murry built a reputation as a fast and consistent racing driver. In addition to his professional and technical expertise, he has become known as one of the "good guys" in the often wacky world of motorsports.
Murry's career began in Formula Fords, leading to the Sports Renault series. From 1981 to 1991, while driving everything he could get his hands on, he won numerous races and the 1985 Sports Renault Championship.
1991 saw the beginning of David’s long tern relationship with manufacturers. He drove an Esprit for the Lotus factory and immediately won two races, so impressing Porsche that they hired him away from Lotus as a factory driver. Driving for the Porsche factory, David won the World Challenge Championship in a Porsche 911 Turbo. David also drove for the Porsche factory at LeMans in their LMP1 car competing for the overall win. BMW then approached David contracting him to drive their BMW M3-GTR.
In 2009, late in his successful driving career, David started "David Murry Track Days" and it continues to be his primary focus today.
