Perhaps the most renowned motor race in the United States, and maybe even the world, for more than a century, the globe's greatest drivers and revheads alike have converged at the Crossroads of America to participate in the Indianapolis 500.

First raced in 1911 and always over 500 miles, the race is designed to be gruelling; weeding out the weaklings, separating the wheat from the chaff and seeing only the strongest survive to raise the Borg-Warner Trophy.

From a Colombian Formula 1 convert to multiple members of the Unser family, here is the full list of drivers to have claimed multiple checkered flags at the Indy 500.
