5: Aaron Slight, NZ: 13 race wins

Probably the best man never to win the series, Slighty was runner-up in 1996 and 1998 and third in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997. He scored his first win on the Kawasaki ZXR750 in 1992 and was three-time Suzuka 8-Hour winner. Always a critic of the rules which seemed to favour the V-twins, Aaron was nevertheless a fierce competitor who never gave up.
