Juan Pablo Montoya (F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA)

One of the most talented drivers in modern motorsports history due to his ability to switch disciplines and excel. The Bogota, Colombia native has an impressive motorsports resume:

  • 2x Indy 500 winner (2000, 2015)
  • CART series champion (1999)
  • 7x F1 race winner
  • 2x NASCAR Cup Series race winner

Montoya is still competitive in motorsports at the age of 45 in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and drove in the LMP2 class at the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans.
