...the same number of foreign drivers have won the Indy 500 since the formation of the IRL than in the period 1947-1995?

(just noticed that while looking something else up)

So I guess that means since the Vision is only 10 years in, they have 48 more years to get it right? We'll just have to wait to see what the stats say in 2053 before we can draw any conclusions. ;)

If I have this right there are twice as many foreign born winners in the IRL era as the CART era (though some IRL era winners were from CART)

CART 1979-95

Fittipaldi 89 and 93
Luyendyk 90
Villenueve 95

And Villenueve is Canadian. We like them, no? (or rather eh?) :gomer:

IRL 1996-2005
Luyendyk 97
Brack 99
Montoya 00*
Castro Neves 01*, 02
deFerran 03
Wheldon 05

Add AZ born but Italy raised fancypants Cheevers and you have yet another F1 wannabe furriner :gomer:
