*The Indianapolis 500 has been run every year since 1911 with the exception of 1917-1918 and 1942-1945 due to the First and Second World Wars.
However, the race was only included as a Formula One event from 1950 to 1960 and therefore only details of races during this period have been counted.
The overall record for the most Indy 500 wins is 4 and is held by AJ Foyt Jr, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
