 Can anyone confirm my suspiscions that Graham Hill was the only driver
to win the British GP, Indy 500, and Le Mans?
Thanks for any help.

Depends on Johnny Herbert's attempt at Indy this year. But, afaik yes.

Thanks Alan. As far as I know, Johnnie has already won Le Mans, and needs his
rumoured Indy 500 challenge to succeed to equal this triple.  Thanks again.

Ah, but who is the only one to win the Indy 500, F1 Driver's Champioship, and the
Daytona 500?

Then there is the question of who is the only one to take La Mans, Indy 500 and the
Daytona 500?

As of yet, no one has achieved all four.  One person is still working on it though.

I'm more impressed by the only man to have won the world championship on
both two wheels and four wheels.

Probably an easy follow up, but can you name the years of his F1 Championship,
Indy 500, and Daytona 500?

Very good.

Once again, very good.

Sad, but true.  It'd be nice if he'd get a class win so he could shut
'Super-Tex' up.

Congratulations, you've passed Racing Trivia 101.  Please turn your papers in
and enjoy the next semester...

Okay, I have no clue.  The two wheels part is what escapes me.
