Players that are related.
Post by DavePhaneuf on Jul 3rd, 2003, 10:18pm

Hey everyone, I just thought for fun I'd make a topic about players that participate here and are related. ^^
Since I always enjoyed comparing records with two related players. Like Myself and my cousin Bernard.

Here's a list of what I've seen:

-Dave Phaneuf
Bernard Leclerc Jr. (Cousin)

-Roland Pristauz
Armin Pristauz (Brother)

-Jullien Holmière
Oliver Holmière (Brother)

-Mark Howson
Nicky Howson (Sister)

-Edgar Moncisvais
Alan Moncisvais (Brother)

-Rene Elsaesser
Peter Elsaesser (Brother)

-Stephen Chan
Daniel Chan (Brother)

-Roeland Klaassen
Kieran Klaassen (Cousin)

-Gustavo Donoso
Eduardo Donoso (Brother)

-Andrews Sebastian
Praveen Sebastian (Brother)

-Mark Turner
Paul Turner (Brother)

-Joakim Alderborn
Simon Alderborn (Brother)

-John Bergeron
Joey Bergeron (Brother)

-Logan West
Beau West (Brother)

-J.D. Martin
Chris Wodarski (Cousin)

List of what we could see:

-Jimmy Thai
Tony Thai


If anyone would happen to know of any others feel free to post. ^^
I do think I saw some other out there but I'm unsure.

... plus I still hope that JKT will follow up on sending in his brother Tony's times.

I probably missed a cousin or two, it's much easier to find the ones with the same last name. Not everyone with the same last name is related of course ... the pairs named Chen, Harvey, Wilson, Corrigan, etc. are not related (to my knowledge.) The Chens might be, I can't remember now. Oh well, it's a pretty good list, even if it's not 100% complete.

Well..me (Dick Grinwis) and Léon Van Der Wagt aren't family, but we've grown up together, and everyone thinks we are ( ), does that count?

In a way it could count. ^^

I've updated this list with all one Dave Crawford mentioned.

I also added a "What could be" list.

Oops, sorry about that, Phaneuf corrected my error. Hmm, I wonder if I did that with anyone else?

Looks like we have another set of related players

Logan West and his brother Beau West.

I added it to the list. ^^

I think I'm related to my brother too.

There's no doubt you are related.

Maybe you can get him to compete on the site

Dave P,
You forgot Sebastien Holmeire of the Holmeire Brothers.

I looked all over but i didn't find his name on any of the games. Did I miss somewhere.

However when looking around I did find two more players

Bas Willemsen
Bas B.P. Willemsen

Would these two happen to be related?
Two others I came across

Harold Christensen
Eric Christensen

I wouldn't be sure here since one here uses a pal version, the other uses NTSC.
Re: Players that are related.
Post by Webmaster on Jul 10th, 2003, 02:14am

The Willemsens are definitely not related, the Christensens are almost certainly not related for the reason you mentioned, and while Sebastien Holmiere may possibly exist, I have not heard of him, nor is he a member of FZC. Kort, what were you smoking when you wrote that?

You're right Mark, but in the case of the Christensens ... us saying "NTSC/PAL" was our lazy way of saying that Eric is from the USA and Harold is from France. North Americans tend to forget that there are places in the world where players have the option of NTSC or PAL.

BTW Dave, J.D. Martin just pointed out that he and Chris Wodarski are cousins, so you can add them to the list.

Oh OK, I get it now. Upon visiting Julien Holmiere's site, I see that his brother Sebastien is a world-class Super Mario Kart player. But he still doesn't belong on the list because he's not at F-Zero Central. Anyway, there's no mention of Olivier. Can anyone confirm that Olivier is related to Julien?

Post by DavePhaneuf on Jul 10th, 2003, 1:21pm

Until someone confirms it I'll put "(Brothers, Maybe?)" beside oliver's name. I'll add the other two you mention as well. ^^

Note that it's "Olivier", not "Oliver".

It seems to me that you've spellt "wrong" wrong... Since when is worng a word?
Anyway, I might get my cousin to join here. So that makes me a part of the could-be list! (doesn't it?)

Post by DavePhaneuf on Jul 15th, 2003, 4:03pm

Yup, I'll add you to the list once it happens ^^

Damian, to my knowledge, isn't any relation to me. Our surname isn't that common though and he is from the UK, so you never know eh.
