FEATURING OVER 40 CARS AND HAAS MEMORABILIA
With an overall record of 108 wins and 8 championship seasons, the Newman/Haas Racing team has amassed a history of winning that puts them in the top-tier of Indy Car teams. Fielding undisputed superstars like Michael and Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, and Sébastien Bourdais, the team founded by Carl Haas and Paul Newman dominated both the CART and Champ Car series between 1983 and 2011, and forever changed the history of motorsport. Now, the private team plans its most public outing in years, an international auction hosted by RM Sotheby’s of Newman/Haas Racing’s treasured, race-proven chassis and many artifacts from their history.
Without a doubt the most famous and longest-lasting collaboration in Haas history was when he joined forces with Paul Newman to create Newman/Haas Racing in 1983. Though Haas and Newman were fierce competitors in the Can-Am era, they shared a goal of rising to the top of the IndyCar leaderboard. The driving force pushing the team to victory was none other than Mario Andretti, a veteran of varied formats and a tireless competitor. While driving a 1984 Lola-Cosworth Ford, Andretti scored six first-place victories after six pole positions and went on to win the CART PPG Indy Car World Series.
