MOTORSPORT FANDOM AWARDS 2025

Hello and welcome to the 2025 Motorsport Fandom Awards 2025, as voted by people on tumblr.

I asked you all to shout out some of your favourite creators this year, and you delivered. However, if there is someone not on the list that you think should be, please use this opportunity to tag them below or @ them in the replies. I created this to spread some love and appreciation, and I would love for you guys to continue it - so please reblog and add your faves, I would love this to go as far as possible.... Moreover, if you know an AO3 accounts Tumblr, please do tag them and I will update this post.

Thank you so much!!

Without further ado...

A year in review...

Fandoms people engaged with:

With most of my mutuals being MotoGP, this is fairly unsurprising...

When did people join the fandom?

What do people engage with?

look at that fanfic involvement guys!! also the spread makes me sooo happy

And how would people label their engagement?

Many content creators, which is just wonderful, and equally wonderful are our engagers and our lurkers - so much love for you all!

THE PEOPLE

We all know that our fandoms would not function without people creating, engaging, talking, and, frankly, keeping these spaces alive - and these are some of the people you wanted to say thank you to!

I have taken out so many repetitions - let me just say, if your name if on here once, i will put money on the fact that it has been mentioned so many times!!!!!!

@Myanmardoesnotexist has always been kind amd welcoming. And @multiseb21 always makes me laugh with her posts. 

@Rise-ha and @Fourth-Shot are the absolute sweetest! I don’t tend to talk to anyone very much (mostly just post and comment back and forth) but when I chat with them I always feel like a friend. @Idealandreal too!

@anxioustential for always leaving thoughtful comments/sending fun asks/being a great community support,

@love-leah for running the motogp rpf summer camp,

@Calia23 for her fantastic takes in MotoGP and F1 !!! She's listened to all of my chaotic ideas and has seriously helped me develop my ideas. I don't think some of my fics would have existed without her. She's also been amazing for support when i was seriously in doubt @myanmardoesnotexist @certainfishllama @star-s631 @calebexists @kingofthecotasI love you guys so dearly

Been trying to unravel the Vale turtle plushie lore because he's had so many over the years 🐢:

a) In the press conference I just talked about here he mentions that he has a lucky turtle that his mother gave to him when he was six.

b) In this video from '97 he shows off his Michaelangelo named Tarta (pictured above) which "came to his first minimoto race" when he was eleven. I don't think a) and b) are the same turtle because of, well, the TMNT popularity/production timeline.

c) Supposedly his turtle tattoo (that he got in roughly 2000/2001) is based on a turtle stress toy that Uccio gave him.

Left image below is from 1997 and right is from 2004.

I'm still not sure which is which but the tattoo sort of looks like a mashup of both tbh.

Vale: *gets given a turtle as a kid* This is my personality now.

canon things about marc under used in fics (in my opinion)

i come with receipts. some are not canon per say but i'm using my amazing deduction skills.

i hope you make good use of this :) and don't be shy share your head canons with me!!

dying why did ive never saw this video

everyone trashing bez for his walk and body language on the motogp subreddit it's hilarious.

i'm crying

🐜❤️🦂 WEDDING 🎉

MotoGP media team is one bad day away from putting a Marc “rosquez” tweet on screen and honestly… I don’t know how I feel about that

Marc's fotos remind me of the doodles about the Marquez brothers being perissodactyla.

spreading my omega marc alpha gemma agenda

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Be a good husband😌👌🏻

This is my collage👇🏻

praying motogp admin never does a tumblr deep dive 🙏🏻

Don't let Big Motogp fool you this was the Rosquez dynamic in 2013
