Indianapolis 500 Race, 1960
01
Artifact Overview
The running of the 1960 Indianapolis 500 was the last time this particular race would be included in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship. More significantly, the 1960s marked a time when oval tracks went from dirt to pavement and the days of front-engine designed Indy cars were numbered as European cars with rear-mounted engines achieved greater success.
