Automobile sport

Paul Newman discovered the automobile sport in 1968, at the time of the turning of the film Winning ( Virages in French) in which it played the main role, that of a pilot of the 500 Miles Indianapolis trying to reconcile its career and its love life.

Fallen literally in love with this sport, it then makes profitable its abundance of cash to parallel to start its career of actor a career of racing driver. Taking into account its already advanced age, Newman cannot obviously aim at the tops, but he manages all the same to take down the second place of the 24 hours of Mans 1979 as a crew with Rolf Stommelen and Dick Barbour on a Porsche 935. In 1995, Paul Newman gains also a victory of category at the time of the 24 hours of Daytona.

The passion of Paul Newman for the race also materializes with the beginning of the year 1980 by the creation of a stable of CART in partnership with Carl Haas, a well-known figure of the American automobile sport. Since its creation in 1983, the stable Newman/Haas Racing became one of most famous American races. Pilots such as Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Cristiano da Matta or more recently Sebastien Bourdais in particular shone there. In 2005, with more than 80 years, Newman even took again the wheel at the time of the 24 hours of Daytona in company of its pilots Sebastien Bourdais and Bruno Junqueira.
