Paul Newman

This week saw the passing of Hollywood legend Paul Newman. Paul Newman was introduced to motor racing in 1968 while filming a movie at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and from that brief encounter blossomed a 40-year passion for the sport that included not only co-ownership of one of the most powerful teams in US open-wheel racing, but also his own successful driving career.
The Academy Award-winning actor and world-renowned activist and humanitarian, died on Friday, aged 83, at his home in Connecticut, prompting a flood of tributes from all the worlds he inhabited.
