Horrific End to Goodyear Formula Car Challenge

Amazing video of the last lap of the 2012 Goodyear Formula Car Challenge from the driver's seat of Lloyd Read in the #16 Almost Everything Mazda. In the lead with only a few turns left to win the overall series championship, Read & another driver tangle, tangle again, finally wreck & go airborne. The amazing part is that Read drives through to the end of the race with one wheel hanging off the car. As he finally crosses the finish line his tire starts to burn. Read finished the season with 5 podium finishes and 2 wins.



Look for Lloyd Read in the Star Mazda Road to Indy Championship.

Read Takes Thunderhill Pole to Finish

Almost Everything's young racing sensation, Lloyd Read continues his dominance of the 2011 Formula Enterprise Championship with a win at Thunderhill.

Lloyd Read during his 2010 rookie season

Read was born in Cwmbran, Wales (note Union Jacks on car.) No, we don't know how you pronounce Cwmbran but we do know it has 3 hotels, 12 restaurants, 22 pubs and another 10 bars (sadly, we don't know what the difference between a pub & a bar is either but we think the ratios sound fine.) Lloyd split his childhood between the United Kingdom and the United States. The San Francisco Bay Area is now his home.
