100th Countdown - Top British Indy 500 Driver

8/4/2016

7 Comments

 
Teaming up with Downforce Radio, we are looking at finding the Top Ten British Indianapolis 500 Drivers from the very start.Since 1911, 32 British drivers have competed in the Indianapolis 500.

To qualify in our survey, they must meet the following standards -
  • Born in the United Kingdom, or raced under the GBR nationality
  • Won the Indianapolis 500, or
  • Rookie of the Year, or
  • Had a top five finish, or
  • Entered three or more races

So we have whittled the selection down to 19 drivers to chose from. All you have to do is pick three drivers, in no particular order and nominate them in the entry form at the end of the list.

Henry Banks (6 x Starts, BF 6th)
Jim Clark (5 x Starts, 1 x Win)
Mike Conway (3 x Starts, BF 18th)
Jim Crawford (8 x Starts, BF 6th)
Dario Franchitti (10 x Starts, 3 x Wins)
Graham Hill (3 x Starts, 1 x Win)
David Hobbs (4 x Starts, BF 5th)
Hughie Hughes (2 x Starts, BF 2nd)
James Jakes (3 x Starts, BF 15th)
Alex Lloyd (4 x Starts, BF 4th)
Pippa Mann (4 x Starts, BF 20th)
Darren Manning (4 x Starts, BF 9th)
Nigel Mansell (2 x Starts, BF 3rd)
Dario Resta (3 x Starts, 1 x Win)
George Robson (3 x Starts, 1 x Win)
​Jackie Stewart (2 x Starts, ROTY)
​Jeff Ward (7 x Starts, BF 2nd)
Dan Wheldon (9 x Starts, 2 x Wins)
​Justin Wilson (8 x Starts, BF 5th)

    Pick three drivers to nominate at the top British driver at the Indianapolis 500

I'm going to upset many by missing Dan out here... My three are the 2 heros of the sixties, Clark & Hill, and the 3rd is Mansell. I was gutted when he hit the wall (glancing blow). I really think he'd have won.

I've also missed out Dario here even though he's a modern champion and my personal hero of my visit in 2012.

I've gone for the Lotus boys as I think that was a golden age of racing. Dan comes 5th after Dario.

Dan was magical at Indy. Clark should have won a couple in his time.
