Newman is 83. I suspect it's a rare person that can maintain that level of activity into their 70's and beyond. Paul Frere was another.

Quote:
Only weeks before his 90th birthday in January 2007, he was badly injured in an accident near the Nürburgring, and was hospitalized for 14 days in intensive care.[1]

Paul Frère died on February 23, 2008 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (France).
I hope I'm doing as well as either of those guys at their age.
