January 2025

The evo Hall of Fame was established to recognise the great and the good of our corner of the universe. Prepare to welcome this year's inductees

HALL evo OF FAME

IT'S BEEN QUITE THE YEAR FOR NEW PERFORMANCE CARS of all shapes and sizes, from diminutive roadsters to hot hatches, supersaloons to supercars, along with a rash of new hypercars earning column inches and their own hashtags. At a time when the performance car and, by association, the driver's car are under more pressure and scrutiny than ever, to still be able to celebrate such diversity provides plenty of reasons to be cheerful.

And alongside the road cars there is plenty more to celebrate, acknowledge and champion, which is where the evo Hall of Fame comes in, as we name our Person of the Year, Competition Driver of the Year and Competition Car of the Year.

There were, as you'd expect, plenty of options to choose from and plenty of discussions and pinging of emails back and forth before we settled on our three. You will, naturally, either agree with our choices or be tearing these pages from the magazine and lining the cat's litter tray with them, but then with such a rich variety of talent and achievement on display, any such awards are bound to provoke debate. And now, without further ado, please be upstanding for 2024's inductees to the Hall of Fame.

PERSON OF THE YEAR GORDON MURRAY

This was the year his latest masterpiece came to glorious fruition

IT IWAS LATE 2019 AND LATE IN THE DAY on the Thursday of press week when the email landed. There were just 24 hours to go before the printer would start asking where the pages were, but as soon as we saw the subject matter we knew we had to replan a whole chunk of the issue. It was that big a deal.

1980s

Which decade can claim the greatest driver's cars? Which era best encapsulates the thrill of driving? Over the next five issues, we'll trace the trajectory of the performance car. Our aim: to find the absolute evo sweet-spot. So we'll bring together icons from each era and reevaluate them on our favourite roads. But we'll also look at the reality of owning and driving them back in the day, the wider car culture, the effects of emerging tech, and the impact of motorsport. We're kicking off with the ‘80s, the decade of the hot hatch, four-wheel drive, turbos, Group B, some extremely dubious bodykits — and some quite brilliant performance cars
