With Indy500 qualifying underway, Triple Crown season is very much upon us 👑 Here's a look at all you need to know about the three most prestigious races in motorsport 🏆 F1 MonacoGP LeMansCentenary
While an unofficial title, the three most prestigious races in the world of motorsport put together form the three pillars of what is widely known as the Triple Crown.
The mathematics are simple at IMS. Four turns at the iconic oval, which measures exactly 2.5 miles long, leading to 200 laps of racing – but the tactics, drafting, bravery and sheer speed involved make it gripping viewing every year. This means that, not only will the fastest drivers be looking to qualify near the front, but the slowest drivers from Saturday’s session will be forced to fight it out on Sunday to even make it onto the grid at all – and the slowest will be “bumped” out and not allowed to enter the following weekend.Back Home Again in Indiana
But among the pomp and pageantry surrounding the race, the intensity of the racing itself is right up there with anything in the world – with drivers hitting top speeds beyond 230mph in qualifying trim and going toe-to-toe in close quarters for almost three hours of racing, making the Indy 500 a demanding mental and physical test.Current series: Formula 1
The glamour of the events surrounding the weekend and the bringing together of some of the world’s most influential people year after year marks it out as one of the key events on the Formula 1 calendar, along with it being one of the trickiest races to navigate from a driving perspective. Le Mans celebrates its centenary running in 2023 and counts itself as the world’s oldest active endurance race, with the 13.626km [8.47mi] Circuit de la Sarthe and its 38 corners playing host to cars running in multiple different classes, with around 180 drivers taking part every year.
Like the Indy 500, Le Mans has its own traditions, one of which was known as the ‘Le Mans Start’, where the cars would be lined up on one side of the grid and the drivers stood on the other.
