The More You Play, the Wilder You Get The Story of the World’s First Wild Offroad Racer

His name is Robby Gordon. We call him Robbie Gordon. He might be the most familiar "international friend" among Chinese off-road enthusiasts. The reason why Gordon is familiar to Chinese off-road racers is that last year, he brought his racing car to participate in the Alxa Hero Meeting with great fanfare and gave a spectacular show to hundreds of thousands of on-site spectators. The nature of a lunatic is that the more people there are, the happier he is. He used all his skills without reservation. This should also be the most wonderful off-road show that Chinese off-road racers could witness on the spot. We all know that he is a lunatic. When you describe him as a "lunatic", he is rather proud.

Some Notes on "Wildness"

He has participated in almost all the car races he could enter and has won medals; he felt that the races available on the market were not challenging enough, so he planned a race himself – this race is now popular all over the world. It’s called Stadium Super Trucks (STT), and we can call it the "Super Truck Championship"; his father was a generation of racing gods, he himself is a generation of racing gods, and his son currently also has some potential of a generation of racing gods – although he is only 9 years old this year; Gordon "debuted" in the BAJA race in the late 1980s. After winning five consecutive championships, he was discovered by a "talent scout" and entered the field of circuit racing. This was in 1994. In the third year of running in the Indy Car Formula, Gordon had already begun to be invincible – despite his disadvantage in racing technology at that time. In the same period, Robbie Gordon also shone in the Trans-Am and Camel GT touring car races.

Robby Gordon in a race

In 1991, Gordon participated in NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, the most watched touring car race in the United States) for the first time. At that time, he was just a small nobody. But it didn’t take long for the name Robby Gordon to appear frequently on the leaderboard. In 2001, Gordon began to participate in the Morgan-McClure race. He shone here and his name became a household name. In the same year, he also participated in the RCR race and ended up winning the championship. In 2004’s RCR, Gordon started to have his own team. It was from this time that Gordon 开启了 his "championship mode".

In 2005, he entered the Dakar Rally and played for the Volkswagen team. It was not only his first appearance in an international rally, but also the first stage championship that Americans had ever won in the Dakar Rally.

Robby Gordon in action

In 2012, Gordon’s total score ranked second in the overall standings. Unfortunately, the wild Gordon didn’t pay much attention to the competition rules, and his results were cancelled due to the violation of the racing car.

The highlight of this STT is "flying everywhere". Of course, it also has a series of rules, but the most attractive thing is undoubtedly the leaps and collisions of dozens of racing cars. Undoubtedly, the founder of the event, team owner and driver Robbie Gordon is the best player in this game.

This is Robbie Gordon’s father, Bob Gordon, the "God Bob" on the BAJA track. He 开启了 the invincible mode on the BAJA track in the early years. This is "Little Gordon" Max Gordon. However, American fans have already been accustomed to calling him Mad Gordon – wildness is hereditary.

He never cared about his own and the safety of the racing car. The degree of wear and tear of the vehicle he drove might be the highest in the world; some regions have blacklisted him because wherever he is happy, it will become a racetrack; for Gordon, having more than two wheels touching the ground at the same time is simply effeminate.
