   How many goals did you score in 2025? What was your 2025 season   
   handicap? How many FF races have you entered in the last 3 years?   
      
   Looking back, you did run a few fast laps, but won very few races until   
   the top competitors who consistently beat you dropped out about 4 years ago.   
      
   Go racing in 2026 and prove me wrong. Until then you are well washed up   
   today.
