Triple Crown of Motorsport information


Graham Hill (pictured in 1969) is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown

The Triple Crown of Motorsport is an unofficial motorsport achievement, often regarded as winning three of the most prestigious motor races in the world in one's career. Those races being:

  • The Indianapolis 500 (first held in 1911)
  • 24 Hours of Le Mans (first held in 1923)
  • Monaco Grand Prix (first held in 1929)[1][2][3][4]

In different periods all three races were parts of various FIA World Championships:

  • The Indianapolis 500 was part of the World Manufacturers' Championship (1925–1928) and the Formula One World Championship (1950–1960).
  • The 24 Hours of Le Mans was part of the World Sportscar Championship (1953–1992 except for the 1956, 1975–1979 and 1989–1990 seasons). Since 2012 it has been part of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
  • The Monaco Grand Prix has been part of the Formula One World Championship since 1950 (except for the 1951–1954 and 2020 seasons).

Graham Hill is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown. Nineteen drivers in motorsports history have competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown and have won at least one of the events.[5] Juan Pablo Montoya and Fernando Alonso are the only active drivers to have won two of the three events, needing to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Indianapolis 500 respectively to complete the Triple Crown.
