Notes of Interest

- The United States is represented on this list with six drivers, the most of any other country. Those six are Hurley Haywood, Al Holbert, Phil Hill, A.J. Foyt, Dan Gurney and Davy Jones. Other countries include Germany with five; United Kingdom with three; France and Italy with two each; and Belgium, Mexico, New Zealand and Netherlands with one each.

- Phil Hill became the first driver to win both races. Hill had already won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times (1958, 1961 and 1962) for Scuderia Ferrari when he won the 1964 Rolex 24 At Daytona, co-driving with Pedro Rodriguez. However, Hill and Rodriguez’s Rolex 24 victory came at a distance of 2,000 kilometers (race became 24 hours in 1966).

- Chris Amon and Lorenzo Bandini became the first drivers to win both races at the 24-hour duration, when they won the 1967 Rolex 24 At Daytona co-driving a Ferrari 330. Bandini had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1963 and Amon at Le Mans in 1966.

- Amon was also the youngest driver to have won both races; he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans at 22 years, 11 months old, and added the Rolex 24 victory a few months later at 23 years, six months. Rockenfeller was the next youngest, having won both while he was 26 years old.

- Henri Pescarolo had the longest span between first victories in both races, at 18-and-a-half years. His first 24 Hours of Le Mans victory came in June 1972, while the Rolex 24 win came in February 1991. A.J. Foyt is next in years between first victories at around 15-and-a-half years, with wins at Le Mans in June 1967 and Daytona in February 1983.

- Timo Bernhard and Mike Rockenfeller were the most recent drivers to add their names to this list, when they won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2010 together, driving for Audi Sport in an Audi R15 TDI. Rockenfeller also won the 2010 Rolex 24 At Daytona, becoming only the fourth driver in history to win both races in the same calendar year.

- Hurley Haywood and Derek Bell have scored eight victories each in the two races. Haywood has five at Daytona and three at Le Mans, while Bell did the opposite – five at Le Mans and three at Daytona. Bell reached the eight-win mark in 1989, while Haywood did so in 1994.

- Bell and Al Holbert are the only drivers to win both races in the same calendar year more than once – in 1986 and 1987.

- John Winter used a pseudonym for his motorsport endeavors; his real name was Louis Krages.

- In addition to their wins at Le Mans and Daytona, 12 of these drivers listed also won the 12 Hours of Sebring: Hurley Haywood, Jacky Ickx, Al Holbert, Phil Hill, Andy Wallace, Marco Werner, A.J. Foyt, Mauro Baldi, Timo Bernhard, Dan Gurney, Hans Herrmann and Jackie Oliver. (A full list of drivers who have won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring will come in a later post.)
