Following on from the name Kevin not being a great one for a racing driver................

the name Kevin is not what you'd associate with a fast driver. But if he goes like the wind, suddenly it will sound good. Like the name Michael Schumacher. It immediately brings yo mind speed. But had we never had him, that name isn't really a fast name. Michael is plain, not as bad as Kevin, but plain, and shoemaker isn't great. But he's a 7 time champion, so the name sounds fast.

Now these names sound fast, racing drivery names whatever the driver has or hasn't done

Alberto Ascari

Jenson Button ( you see I can be nice)

Scott Speed

Valentino Rossi ( I don't think it's just his success, that's a great name! )

Jamie Wincup

Stirling Moss

Didier Pironi

Will power

Wolfgang Von Trips


Do add your thoughts and 'fast' names.

Oh there is another racing drivers name, not a fast one though, it's......Duck Waddle.......... :rofl::rofl::rofl: that's absolutely true. I'm saying nothing else on that name :hehe:

And you forget...

JAMES HUNT. Best racing name ever in my view.

And for some reason Mika Hakkinen just sounds speedy to me. Especially the way you pronounce "Hakkinen"...its like "f**k he's fast". :hehe:

It's what we've always known for many years outside of Australia...You can't have a world leader called Kevin.

But Colin, Kevin, Matthew, Nichael, John etc aren't fast names in themselves, They only become fast when the drivers with those names keep winning.
