Aaron Tony Slight {{post-nominals|country=NZL|MNZM|size=85%}} (born 19 January 1966) is a New Zealand former professional motorcycle road racer. He competed in the Superbike World Championships from {{SBK|1988}} to {{SBK|2000}}, finishing second in the championship twice and third four times.{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsbk.com/en/rider/Aaron+Slight/8 |title=Aaron Slight WSBK career statistics |publisher=worldsbk.com |accessdate=11 May 2019 }}{{cite news |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=232534 |title=A Slight change of direction |author=Jessup, Peter |publisher=nzherald.co.nz |accessdate=11 May 2019 }} He later competed in car racing and was a television presenter for AA Torque, a motoring show on New Zealand television.

Motorcycle racing career

Born in Masterton, New Zealand, Slight was Australian Superbike Champion in 1991, before spending most of the 1990s racing in the Superbike World Championship, amassing 87 podiums, 13 wins and 8 pole. For many years he was the only rider to win the Suzuka 8 Hours race for three consecutive years, having done so in 1993–1995.{{cite web |url=https://www.motoracing-japan.com/result/spl/938h.html |title=1993 Suzuka 8 Hours results |publisher=motoracing-japan.com |accessdate=11 May 2019 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.motoracing-japan.com/result/spl/948h.html |title=1994 Suzuka 8 Hours results |publisher=motoracing-japan.com |accessdate=11 May 2019 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.motoracing-japan.com/result/spl/958h.html |title=1995 Suzuka 8 Hours results |publisher=motoracing-japan.com |accessdate=11 May 2019 }} This feat has been repeated only recently by multiple Japanese Superbike Champion Katsuyuki Nakasuga in 2015–2018. Although Nakasuga was only declared a winner in 2018 due to being part of the three rider team (with Sam Lowes and Michael Van Der Mark) even though he did not ride in the race due to an injury. Officially Nakasuga is a four-time-in-a-row winner but in reality he has only matched Slight's three time record respectively.

He won his first WSB race during the 1992 season on a Kawasaki for Team Moving Kawasaki. On a factory Castrol Honda he was third overall in 1994 and 1995, taking his first Honda win at Albacete. The only real low note was Laguna Seca in 1995, where a poorly handling Honda and many local wildcards left him 18th on the grid. He was runner-up to Troy Corser in 1996, and third again in 1997 as teammate John Kocinski won the title.

In 1998 he was second to Carl Fogarty by 5.5 points (half points having been awarded in the shortened Laguna Seca race 1), only missing the title due to mishaps such as a last-lap engine failure at Monza, a last-lap incident with back-marker Jean-Marc Deletang at Philip Island, and missing race 2 at Laguna Seca due to a startline pileup on the aborted attempt to restart the first race. He did however take his first career double victory, at Misano.

Slight did not win a race in 1999; he crossed the line first in race 1 at Hockenheimring after passing Carl Fogarty on the last lap, but a red flag had been shown due to an incident elsewhere on the track, so the results were taken a lap back. Ironically, as Fogarty had already clinched the title, he did not need to win the race. Slight missed the start of the season in 2000 and then made his final appearance in the opening round of the 2001 American Superbike Championship at Daytona Speedway.

Car racing career

Slight raced in the British Touring Car Championship, ASCAR Racing Series and the British GT Championship.[http://www.mcnews.com.au/Riders/AaronSlight/2001_Sep_AscarDebut.htm www.mcnews.com.au] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927022945/http://www.mcnews.com.au/Riders/AaronSlight/2001_Sep_AscarDebut.htm |date=27 September 2007 }}

Personal life

In the 2000 Queen's Birthday Honours, Slight was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to motor sport.{{cite web |url=https://dpmc.govt.nz/publications/queens-birthday-honours-list-2000-including-special-list-east-timor |title=Queen's Birthday honours list 2000 (including special list for East Timor) |date=5 June 2000 |publisher=Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet |accessdate=4 July 2020}}
