Wasnt Craig D, it was Jon Leonard. 10, and probably was the youngest to finish 3rd at the euros. Oldest well ive forgotten his name but was in team kyosho for a couple of years in the A team in the late 90s and was at least in his late 40s

I'm sure craggy was the youngest to make a National A final? I got my f1 in 96 so was 14 poss 15 as my birthday is July but I thought Neil was also youngest f1 at 11 or 12.....

Nope not Craggy - sorry but was Jon Leonard. He made the top ten and qualified for the worlds in Japan at the age of twelve (I think) so was at least 9 or ten when he made F1. Heck he won Radio race car at the age of 9 and was frustrating that a 9 year old was kicking my butt in the Welsh league.

Being gang banged in a prison somewhere. He has been a very naughty boy.

He may have been a cock but was rather gifted with a buggy. Not as good as Jon Tucker but never the less gifted. He should have stuck with racing instead of doing stupid things.

Whats he done? I looked on Facebook and found his page, seems he's into boxing, perhaps that was so he could pick up the soap safely.

Marc Neale and James Pearson were very talented Juniors back in 89/90 ish, but still not sure if they were F1 as young as Jon Leonard.

Jon wasnt that young when he got his F1, but he was small! He's not living with the queen no more either instone and didn't ever seem to be a cock. Just young.
Surely the youngest has to be craggy.
If you fancy a bit of white collar boxing, give him a shout:thumbsup:

Nope, it is Jon Leonard. I was there the day he made his first A Final, as referee with Terry Wright. We both had a word with him and his wonderful Dad to make sure he was settled in and not going to miss his first turn on the big stage through nerves. He went well, and his Dad was very grateful to us afterwards. The Leonards were a really nice family, who always came to the meetings together, and always had time for everyone.
Jon was an outrageous natural talent, but once he hit his teens we didn't see that much of him any more - shame. Welshy40 and I stand shoulder to shoulder on this one - it was Jon!

Yup, great family and his dad used to be a really nice guy.
