Gran Turismo Jaguar driver, Fred Baker, being congratulated by Paul Newman on October 26, 1980, after Baker and GTJ's 15-year old 4.2L E-Type defeated Newman and all of the brand-new, multi-million dollar factory-sponsored Datsun cars, to claim the National Championship in the SCCA C-Production Class.
