Artifact Overview
Austrian Jochen Rindt competed four times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning in 1965, and twice in the Indianapolis 500. He spent six seasons in Formula One. Rindt died in a crash during practice in 1970 but had already earned enough points for that year's F1 World Drivers' Championship -- the only driver to win the title posthumously.
