List:
Another opinion.
I agree with Jonathan.
The FIA/FIM may be in the best political position to claim their listings as the
"official" world records-- but any organization is
only as credible as its leaders. The leadership at FIA/FIM sucks, therefore the
organization itself has little credibility. I
never consider an FIA/FIM record a "real" world record until I compare it to the
SCTA listings.
