Usage

edit

This template is to be used on the individual Indianapolis 500 race pages. This template is appropriate for Indianapolis 500 race articles from 1911 to 1955, which were run under AAA-sanction.

From 1950 until 1960, the Indianapolis 500 was part of the World Drivers' Championship. Consensus was reached that Indianapolis 500 races included on the WDC calendar should remain with an Indy500-specific infobox.

It is not suggested that this infobox be used for races after 1955. Instead, use Template:Infobox Indy500 for those years.

This infobox differs from Template:Infobox Indy500 in that several cells were removed. There were several pieces of information that are only appropriate or applicable for more recent editions of the race. Including, but not limited to the pre-race ceremonies, and television information, and Rookie of the Year Award.

Blank

edit

The following blank version includes all parameters and can be used to copied directly for use. Some of the standard inputs have been included as examples. There were no race logos for early races. It is appropriate to substitute this cell with a photograph of the winning car/driver.
