Talk:List of nicknames in motorsport

Guideline for Entries

1. All entries must be marked with a tag looking like this...

• "nickname" = [[name]], [[discipline gained notability in]] "occupation"<ref>source</ref>

An example of this would be *"Schumi" = '''[[Michael Schumacher]]''', {{flagicon|GER}} [[Formula One]] driver

1. This list is for those who are considered notable per WP:Notability guidelines.
2. For WP:Verifiability reasons, all entry must have sources, a list made up of anything unsourced is a sitting duck for AfD
3. Please add reason of nickname (or why this nickname was given to them) within a "<ref group=note></ref>" tag at the end of the entry
4. Cars: This list is for cars that was nicknamed to them when they were racing cars, NOT when they were roadgoing production cars. Nicknames cannot be listed for cars given to them for that reason before it saw competition action (The 2007-date Nissan GT-R is DNQ from the list as the "Godzilla" nickname was given to them before it saw racing action. N.b. the same also applies to its precessor, as Wheels magazine awarded the nickname in 1989, a year before it saw action on racetracks)
