Hurley Haywood and Peter Sachs have been honored by the Road Racing Drivers Club at the annual RRDC banquet preceding the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Haywood was recognized with the club’s Phil Hill Award, while Sachs was presented with the RRDC’s Bob Akin Award, both in recognition of their longtime participation in and service to the sport.
Haywood is, of course, one of the USA’s most successful long-distance racers, with five victories in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, three at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and two at the 12 Hours of Sebring. He also claimed two IMSA GT crowns and the 1988 SCCA Trans-Am championship. Sachs contested SCCA, IMSA and vintage races for four decades, and in his retirement now manages the Klemantaski Collection, a historic motorsports photo archive.
