Dan Gurney

Dan Gurney

Dan Gurney was an American racing driver, engineer, and team owner, widely regarded as one of the most versatile and innovative figures in motorsport history. Born in Port Jefferson, New York, Gurney competed in Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and sports car racing, achieving success across all these disciplines. He was the first driver to win races in Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and sports cars, a testament to his skill and adaptability. Gurney’s engineering talents led him to establish his own team, All American Racers (AAR), where he designed and raced the Eagle Mk1, famously winning the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix—an accomplishment that made him one of the few drivers to win an F1 race in a car of his own construction. He is also credited with introducing the iconic "Gurney flap," a small aerodynamic device that improved downforce and is widely used in motorsport today. Beyond his technical innovations, Gurney’s influence extended to the culture of racing, as he was the first driver to celebrate with champagne on the podium, starting a tradition now synonymous with motorsport. His legacy as a driver, innovator, and team owner remains a vital part of racing history.
