Otay Kiddoes', it's that time 'O year again, when I
cap off another long, meandering year's storytelling from thou Isle of
Nofendersville with my Zany End of Year Overall Winners selections…
As Y’all know thou Drill here upon Ye Isle ‘O
Nofendersville, where the Nights are long and the Days spent type-type-typing
Away Way too Mucho on thoust Keyboard! Alas, Once again it’s another long form
No Fenders multi-part prose for your consideration.
As Here goes Nothin',
with another Bevy 'O totally Un-Scientific, Zany Off Ye Cuff selections made
below…
CATEGORIES
Rider of The Year
Sports Car Driver of The Year
Freak of The Year
Quip of The Year
6. Rider of Year
Winner: Jorge Martin
This Rookie MotoGP Rider has done nothing but
impress me this season, riding alongside his far more accomplished teammate
Johann Zarco on the Satellite Pramac Racing Ducati, beginning with his
excellent third place maiden MotoGP podium at Doha, after starting on a Shock
Pole position in only his second ever MotoGP race!
But I’m even more impressed over how He
responded after his Wicked Practice Crash at
Portimao, where He suffered fractures to his Hand and Foot, along with
concussion! But He recovered brilliantly to claim his Debutante MotoGP victory
at Spielberg along with another podium en route to Rookie Of the year Honours…
Other
Choices
Tnea
Bastianini, Johann Zarco, Joan Mir, Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio
Quartararo
7. Sports Car Drivers of Year
Winners: Felipe Nasr & Pipo Derani, Ross gunn & Roman DeAngelis
Very Happy that finally Pipo Derani got the “Job
done!” As Pipo’s an exceptionally Quick Driver but has a pretty Hot “Latin”
temper! While Felipe Nasr is totally deserving of his second Prototypes
Championship and I’d really like to see him get a shot in Indy Cars. So if the rumours
are correct about his going to Penske’s forthcoming Porsche Sports Car team, who
knows?
Gotta give the Saloons’ nod to my Homeboyz’ Heart
of Racing, since it’ll Always be Team Seattle for Mwah. As the familiar #23,
albeit an Aston Martin Vantage now not only won the GT Daytona Sprint Cup with
Bad Arses Ross Gunn and roman DeAngelis, but they along with endurance
Specialist and Team leader Ian James won Thar Class at this year’s Petit Le
Mans!
8. Freak of Year
Winner: Maverick Vinales
How could I almost forget about Maverick “Top
gun” vinales ultimate Meltdown in Austria! Where Maverick deliberately tried
Blowing Up his Yamahopper’s engine by purposely trying to Over-rev it’s engine!
As Vinales went from MotoGP winner at the Yamaha Factory Team at season’s
beginning to irrevocably “Torching” His relationship with the Japanese
Manufacturer! For which All I can speculate was due to his being outperformed
by teammate and eventual World Champion Fabio Quartararo, ci? As will Maverick
ever win a MotoGP race riding for Aprilia?

Runner-Up: Jorge Martin
Yeah, these ultimate Road Racing Knee-draggers’
are simply Amazing Athletes, when they’re Not Melting Down! As once again, another
Rider goes Down, Breaks Bones and returns El Pronto! And comes back with a vengeance
to claim his maiden MotoGP victory!
Runner Up Vice Champion: James Hinchcliffe
Originally was gonna give Thee Mayor ‘O Hinchtown
the title All Alone. As will never know what James truly did to injure Himself
Offseason, and the Kuhnuck’ basically refuses to talk about it! Although Racer’s
Marshall Pruett has eluded that Hinch’ massively “Tweaked” his left leg prior
to the beginning of the year and spent the majority of the IndyCar season Not
being able to apply as much Braking pressure as the rest of the field was.
As All I can keep thinking is that Hinchcliffe
possibly “Slipped On A Tennis Ball!” A la Juan Pablo Montoya claimed during his
Formula 1 Days, albeit I tend to recall it was a “Dirt biking” (Motorcycle)
Accident instead…
So did Hinch’ do something “Naughty” during the
IndyCar Offseason? As I “Demoted” him (and Jorge Martin) to Vice Champion Runner
Up status, since with the long planned ascension of Devlin DeFrancesco to
IndyCar’s and specifically at Andretti Autosport, I’m now left pondering if James
Always had just a One year Deal anyways?
9. Quip of Year
Winner: “It’s Called A Motor Race!”
Those were the Words FIA Race Steward Michael
Masi Famously retorted when Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff was Screaming at
Him “Mikey,” That’s Not Right! As Herr Wolff was Howling Madly over the outcome
of Lewis Hamilton being Blitzed by Max Verstappen on fresh, Soft Pirelli rubber
on an unexpected final lap Shootout at Abu Dhabi…
Second Place: “We’re A Nice Group, And Of Course I Paid”
Was trying to look up Jorge Martin’s Rookie
MotoGP season for my Freak ‘O Year category considerations. And stumbled upon
the News of the Spaniard taking his Pramac Racing Team to Punta Cana for a
Holiday, after Having promised taking the team if He scored a podium
during his rookie campaign. As Martin not only did so, but won his maiden MotoGP
race at Spielberg, and dually Picked Up the Tab!

Third Place: ”I Hope He has A Merry off Season and A Happy Christmas!”
Yeah, think I was Desperate that weekend, when
presumably Thar was No IndyCar, F1 or MotoGP race to watch? So I found myself tuning
into Ye “Dark Side” and caught the tail end of a Roundy Round Taxicab Bombers
Race yeehaw!
Refreshing to hear a driver speaking his mind,
which Chase Elliot did following the conclusion of the Charlotte Roval Playoff
race regarding his Feud with Kevin Harvick. When asked about Harvick not making
the Playoff “cut,” Elliot said: “I hope He has a Merry off Season and A Happy
Christmas!” As Thar Ain’t No love loss there, Eh! And I highly doubt they’ll be
exchanging Christmas Cards this December, Ho Ho Ho!
As that's a Wrap
for the Year Kiddee's, as it's been Ah, Uhm? Oh Yeah, Ah blast! As see Yuhs All
next year…
Arrivederci
