There is NO award for the "fastest person" in solo, racing, or any
automotive event. Did you mean Olympic gold winners? That is were people
rather than vehicles win.

Once again, solo championships are NOT the person or car with the fastest
time. Several reasons.
Please re-read my first response titled "Winning and Not being the Fastest."

A person never has a "fastest time" at a Solo Event, NapCar, Formula 1,
etc. Only at the Olympics does a person have a fastest time!

I agree that second place is the "bridesmaid" and does not win and is not
remembered.

Only in the Olympics, not Solo II,
