pre WW1 , i'm seeing one or 2 american names in the 24 Du Mans winners list
other then those 2 mostly English drivers... i guess Le Mans was an straight road back then???


post WW2 not much different, Fangio in F1 obviously , but we had Ascari in F1 , and others in GT racing...

first american post WW2 was Phil Hill , Le MAns in 58 and F1 in 62...

no americans in the pre WW2 list for the Eifelrennen , or Targa Florio , mostly germans , and italians...
