This infobox is used for any drivers with significant current or recent participations outside Formula One, the WRC, or NASCAR as part of an effort to streamline the range of infobox templates for motorsport articles. It is flexible enough to allow use with other templates for drivers with multi-discipline careers. See WikiProject Motorsport for more templates.
