I must say that you can never forget your first taste of motorsport success ever must have been like. Now I know how good that is too.

The table on the bottom of the page explains it all.

It was my second week racing as well. So that felt good to put one over the more experienced names. :)

So what motorsport acheivements have got? Must be a load of stories in here to tell. ;)

Other than getting my licence in my first attempt and winning several Wrc champs in the PS2 none.

Congrats, my good fellow! :up:

I usually beat my friends when we go karting, but that's not really an achievement, since they really haven't got a clue. :laugh: :)

i watched 12 straight hours of motorsport in one day without leaving the couch at all...

[Azumanga Davo]

12 hours eh? I remember the good old days when I was capable of watching a Grand Prix in one sitting without losing out to the Sandman (the bloke, not the panel van... ;) ).

I remember one seaon where I missed all but one GP due to beddy byes time, irnonically the only one I watched all the way through that season was the 6 cars running round Indy on their own... :D

Thanks guys. I vow that I shall continue to try for the money till they get fed up of taking my photo... ;)

I won the first Motocross race I ever entered in 1970. Should have quit then.

I watched the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year from beginning to end, over 24 hours. Also, at 7am on Sunday, after being up over 24 hours I managed to do 30 push-ups to stay awake. It worked.

Many, many years ago during an open track day I posted the quickest street legal trim lap time at Laguna Seca, which was awarded with nothing other than bragging rights on that particular day.

The only other I can recall was much more fun. In my younger years I got into drag racing. At the time information exchange was much harder than it is now, and us younger "kids" hard a hard time breaking into the information base that the more experienced drivers had.

Unknown to some of the older crowd, a couple of them had helped us out with tips and information in exchange for helping them on their cars and such. My true night of acceptance was after sandbagging one of the older guys in a grudge match. I beat him by a little more than a fender in a slower car by getting a near perfect reaction time and launch.

After that day a lot more of the "old timers" took me and a couple others seriously and helped us out a lot more. :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I won some races against some of the best competitors in the racing world.

This year going to try and win ACT Clubman as a driver.

Congratulations :) A lot of people critisise professional drivers from their armchairs without understanding how tough it really is on track, well done

I came 2nd in Junior Rotax Max (Karting) in my second year in 2004. Finished on the podium in my first wet race.

Most recently led the TV Kartmasters British Kart GP in 2006 before being somewhat....suspiciously knocked in to a big crash which followed as i rejoined the track backwards :s Haven't raced at a professional level since then as i can't afford it anymore. Last race i done was a fun day event in pro karts for the Vibe FM/Kiss 100 Karting Challenge, a 2 hour endurance with Rotax team mate Rubens Morelli and driver coach and World Karting champ and F.BMW driver Olli Oakes......our team came 2nd after we got a stop go penalty for ramming and then had to change karts after ours broke :p :

Racing, great thrill when it lasts.

My darkest moment and biggest regret is missing last years FKM after a knee injury and failing to whipe that wooden spoon off Carl :p :

[Azumanga Davo]

Would you believe...: :D

It happened again. This time third best reaction after heading the table for two hours last Wednesday. But couldn't improve as the fuel starvation problems began afterwards. :( Still, all good really. :)

And yes, I am the short*rse... :D

[Robinho]

i've won my class in a couple Production Car autotests (on grass, against an assortment of Novas and Pugs and Minis)

about all for now

[MrJan]

The mechanic that fixes my family's cars won a national rally championship last year. That's about as close as I've got to success in motorsport but I did once play a few minutes for a school volleyball team which went on to win the minor tournement it was in, I got a plastic trophy and everything :D ;)

[Azumanga Davo]

Tonight's the night again, let's see how it all turns out... ;)
