If cool, competent and collected Hurley Haywood didn’t exist, Hollywood would surely invent him. Handsome and articulate, Haywood brings glamour and panache to the world of racing, matched by few other drivers past or present. It’s one reason why he has often appeared in ads for luxury products like Rolex, and in Porsche television productions. His communications skills helped land him the title of chief driving instructor at the Porsche Driving Experience, the company’s driving school for owners. And this is to say nothing of Haywood’s actual achievements on the race track. Perhaps the world’s most accomplished endurance-racing driver, Hurley has amassed an astounding number of wins in this most intense form of motorsport – five overall victories at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, three at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and two at the 12 Hours of Sebring. He also has the 1988 Trans-Am title to his credit, as well as two IMSA GT championships, three Norelco Cup championships, a SuperCar title and 18 IndyCar starts, and was the fastest rookie at the Indy 500 in 1991.
