Graham Hill is the only driver to win the Formula One World Championship, the Indianapolis 500, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Hill won the Formula One title in 1962 and again in 1968, driving for BRM and Lotus respectively. His Indianapolis 500 victory came in 1966, when he drove a Lola-Ford for the Mecom Racing Team. Six years later, Hill completed the achievement by winning the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans for Matra-Simca with co-driver Henri Pescarolo.
This combination is often called the Triple Crown of Motorsport, although the term has competing definitions. One version uses the Formula One World Championship; another substitutes the Monaco Grand Prix. Hill satisfies both versions because he won Monaco five times between 1963 and 1969. The Indy 500 and Le Mans are endurance or oval classics, while the Formula One title is a season-long championship, making the feat especially demanding.
