To millions of film fans around the world, Paul Newman, was THE movie icon with those piercing blue eyes and was the entrepreneur who sold salad dressing and pasta sauce.

However, within the motorsport community he was just ‘PLN’, a racing driver, team owner, and diehard fan who wanted nothing more than to be one of the boys.

He wasn’t of course. Even as he shunned the spotlight he was the most celebrated celebrity to ever grace the world of motor-racing.

A legendary actor, Newman displayed the same passion and dedication to motorsport.

Newman began racing at an advanced age but despite his late start he graduated from the amateur ranks of the SCCA to the professional Trans-Am series, winning four national championships, class wins at Le Mans and Daytona and won his last race, 12 months before his death in 2008, aged 83. He was also the co-owner of Newman-Haas Racing.
