Can somebody help, I just have these for the now:

Eddie Cheever
Graham Hill

Bruno Giacomelli
Mario Andretti
Micheal Andretti
Jacques Villeneuve

VDP
Jack Brabham

Entered but DNQ

Bianchi and Rodriguez
David McKinney
Denis Hulme

Jim Clark springs to mind!

john ruston
One at a time; Jackie Stewart (also partly completed Miglia Mille Retrospective which takes more patience than rest put together)
Barry Boor
Er, I think Dan Gurney might qualify. Won at Le Mans and almost won Indy too.
Kingsleyrob
Another one Stefan - Mark Donohue.

Rob wave.gif
Kingsleyrob
Masten Gregory as well.

PS I have the impression that had Pete Aron actually existed (don't tell Macca he didn't), he'd have been on our list too.

Alboreto came 30th in 1996.
Rob
Vincenzo Sospiri nearly made all three. Raced at Indy and Le Mans, but failed to qualify in his only F1 appearance.

There are plenty like that, Rob - ranging from Fairman to Fangio!

Don't think he did an Indy. He joined the CART troupe in '96 - the first year without the Indy 500 in the calendar.

Michele competed in the 1996 '500' with a Reynard 95I-Ford XB, qualifying 12th and retiring with a seized gearbox on lap 43.

alansart
Chris Amon, Johnny Herbert and Jan Lammers entered Indy but never raced.

Rob
Thought of one more - Raul Boesel
Tim Murray
René Le Bègue

(not an F1 driver, I know, but a Grand Prix driver nonetheless)
LB
Funnily I came on here just now to start this exact topic ! Well almost, I was looking for Monaco, Indy and Le Mans which excludes a few above that didn't run Monaco.

up to date one - Justin Wilson


Also Tomas Enge

hansfohr
Michael Andretti's son Marco is set to make the double. The four time Indy 500 competitor (best finish 2nd in 2006) will make his debut at Le Mans with a Rebellion Racing Lola.

So grandfather, so father, so son! clap.gif

Also John Andretti (Mario's nephew) competed on the Brickyard and at the Sarthe.
hansfohr
Nicholas Minassian
Danny Sullivan
Ronnie Bucknum
Jerry Grant


and many many more.....
Tim Murray
Minassian and Grant never raced in F1, surely? Bucknum and Sullivan have already been mentioned. smile.gif
LB
All the IRL ones:
Wilson and Enge as above

Max Papis

Alboreto, Boesel, Salazar, Seabass, Cheever, Moreno, Nakano, Ongias and Michael Andretti have been mentioned

Ones I'm not sure about Le Mans
Tora Takagi
Enrique Bernaldi (surely!)
Roberto Guerrero
JPM has won the Daytona 24 but don't think he has entered Le Mans


Minassian never drove in F1

None of those drivers has raced at Le Mans.

I see where you're coming from, but Stefan does specify the Le Mans 24 Hours, not just races au Mans.
Barry Boor
I'm not trying to de-rail this thread but I am wondering who is the most recent Grand Prix driver to have run in all three races. I'd guess at Jacques Villeneuve.

You'd guess wrong, Barry. Sebastien Bourdais.

Unless someone knows better ...

Do you mean who is the most recent to achieve it on who is the most recent to have raced in F1?


JV achieved it with his first Le Mans in 2007 (Last GP 2006)
Bourdais was in F1 last year. but achieved the feat at the first GP of 2008
Wilson achieved it with his first Indy in 2008 (Last GP 2003)
Mansell will do it this year

Vitesse I was well aware hence the wink biggrin.gif I think we have covered everybody btw I've been through all the indy results going way back and can't find anyone else. Even if we include 1950-1960 Indy 500's as F1 races, which I didn't, I don't think there are many more. Surprising how many are missing Le Mans, Fabrizio Barbazza is another. Chuck Daigh, Bob Bondurant and Richie Ginther are missing Indy despite being American.

All three, however, competed at Indy, even if they didn't qualify for the "big dance"...

Never raced in F1.

I'm just idly wondering how many of those have done all three in the same year. A small and select group, I'd have thought. OTTOMH:

Alberto Ascari (1952)
Dan Gurney (1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967)
Graham Hill (1966)
Mark Donohue (1971)

Any more?

I agree AJ never raced in f1 but he did race at Indianapolis and 1958 - 1960 which counted towards the WDC :-)

David Hobbs (1971) teamed with Donohue at Le Mans too
Jochan Rindt (1967)
Sam Posey (1972)

Mario nearly did too in 1982 but was disqualified from Le Mans before they could start!

Vitesse2:

Ascari must be a close call.
AFAIK he only drove one F1 race 1952,
the Gran Premio del Valentino.

He drove Le Mans numerous times but never 'raced' at Indy.

Interesting one is Roger Penske, drove in F1 and Le Mans and even won a Nascar race once but never raced at Indy. has won it about 867 times as a team manager though!

Having checked carefully (or I think I did) the following haven't been mentioned:

Jim Crawford, Robert Doornbos, Graham McRae (I believe). and Max Papis


Please correct me if I'm wrong (I can't see a website that lists who has raced at Le Mans) but Mauricio Gugelmin, Bobby Unser, Rodger Ward, Emerson Fittipaldi never raced at Le Mans.

If you include Indianapolis non-qualifiers, then you can include a few more, such as:
Gianfranco Comotti, Giuseppe Farina, Olivier Grouillard, Bruce McLaren, Teddy Pilette, Harry Schell and Mike Spence

There's a few more I'm not sure about Le Mans wise of the 2nd list - Jorge Daponte and John Cannon, to name but two.
David McKinney
I'm pretty sure McRae never did Le Mans
raceannouncer2003
I don't think Crawford or Doornbos did either. Papis was mentioned in post 29.

Vince H.
Richard Jenkins
Apologies - thought Crawford was there in 1977, but he was only listed as a driver but never actually made the track.

I also thought Doornbos raced there in 2003, but I could be wrong - again I'm struggling to find a Le Mans archive with a full drivers index.

Papis is solely down to my eyesight.

As already discussed Sebastian Bourdais is the most recent .... however Villeneuve was the most recent driver who was close to equalling Graham Hill's record breaking trio of wins ( Just needed to win Le Mans with Peugeot in 2008 )
