Quintuple crown

Post by Jimmy Choo »

I've had a nice nap during the Monaco GP and I've got the indy 500 on now. The triple crown has been mentioned and one of the drivers was hoping to do the indy 500 and the NASCAR Coca-Cola
600.

It made me consider what should be added to the triple crown. The Daytona 500 seems sensible for NASCAR and the Bathurst 1000 for the Aussie supercars should definitely be in there.

What am I missing?

Pinacle of GT racing is Nurburgring 24hour as far as I'm concerned.

Bathurst in V8s is a great race but for me the 12hour enduro is "better".

A thousand times this.

But then when you compare the Bathurst 12hr to other 12 or 24hr endurance races, it doesn't have the gravity (yet) so maybe a Bathurst race isn't worth considering?

Kimi and kubica both did some rallying. Both rather uneventful except kubica’s hand ruining crash

Edit- Alonso also tried Dakar. That probably deserves a place?

Yes - I now can't remember what I thought the third race was that made me make that comment :oops:
