The Mario Andretti Milkman Award
Mario Andretti has long made the point that the greatest driver in the world might be a milkman in New Jersey who never got the chance.
Talent is everywhere. Seat time costs money. A racing license shows who found the funding to race, not who is fastest. So this award goes to the quickest driver on the board who has never held one.
It works like a lap record, not a round prize. The holder keeps it until an unlicensed driver goes faster. Some rounds it changes hands. Some rounds it doesn't.
The same idea, off the track. Opportunity should not depend on access. Telemetry Cup supports work at Dana-Farber to improve access to cancer care, through Guardian Angel Motorsports. Read more
- Who counts as licensedAnyone who has ever held a wheel-to-wheel competition license, such as SCCA, NASA, WRL, IMSA, or FIA. Lapsed licenses still count. HPDE, time trial, autocross, and school certificates do not.
- How it's checkedLicense status is confirmed with your event paperwork at check-in. Licensed drivers carry the LIC tag on the board.
- Awarded only when the record fallsThere is no award each round. The title passes to a new driver only when an unlicensed lap beats the standing time. A tie to the thousandth keeps the current holder.
- One board, one rankingEveryone is ranked together. The fastest eligible unlicensed driver holds the award. Only consented, published results qualify.
- Think you can beat them?Come back anytime. Every return run is another donation, and only your best lap stays on the board.
- The host doesn't countThe host's laps are never ranked.
