By the time the season ended in Australia, Lawson had nevertheless notched up six podium finishes in the final eight races after his comeback indeed out of those eight rounds Rainey scored just 6 points more than Lawson, but with half the year effectively written off, Eddie was left just seventh in the season end standings.While hed been winless in GPs, 1990 wasnt a completely fruitless season as Lawson still managed to claim his one and only Suzuka Eight Hours victory, with Yamaha favourite Tadahiko Taira.1991 New challenge at Cagiva1990 would mark the end of Lawsons career as a World Championship contender although that seemed to be more down to another of Eddies team changes than a reflection of the now 33 year olds potential.In yet another shock decision he again switched both team and manufacturer by signing for Cagiva - a team who had yet to take a 500cc Grand Prix victory despite over a decade of trying.Surely someone as level headed as Lawson must have known that he wouldnt be able to beat Rainey, Schwantz and the fast emerging Doohan - not to mention the mighty Japanese manufacturers but then maybe that was the point; Eddie had been World Champion four times and after being Raineys team-mate the previous year could well have decided that he didnt need to prove himself any more.By 1991 hed beaten the likes of Spencer, Sheene, Gardner, Rainey, Schwantz, Doohan, Mamola, Sarron, Roche, Magee and Haslam on the way to his four world titles did he really need to do it all again.Instead, by moving to Cagiva he was also moving the goal posts - the challenge was now to make the Italian team a front running outfit - theyd never even had a rider finish in the championship top-ten before, despite employing the likes of Randy Mamola - and just maybe Lawson could give them a long overdue victory.For this new challenge, Lawson was teamed with young Brazilian Alex Barros and the pair were soon working admirably as they steadily made the stylish Cagiva into something approaching competitive to the shock of most of the GP paddock.The elusive first race victory never came, but by the end of the year hed dragged the team that had contemplated GP retirement the year before up to an incredible sixth in the World Championship behind Rainey, Doohan, Schwantz, Kocinski and Gardner achieving two podium finishes [at Italy and France] and regularly mixing it with the might of the Japanese teams along the way.By the end of the year Eddie had proved hed lost none of his determination and earned the respect of riders and fans alike for his gutsy rides as an underdog.1992 One last win1992 would be Lawsons last season of World Championship racing, but Eddie certainly wasnt going to fade away and while he would stand on the podium just once in the reduced 13 round series, it would be from the top step as he took Cagivas first GP victory, at the Hungarian GP.The win was Lawsons 31st in Grand Prix racing, an amazing tally that at the time put him third in the all time 500cc win list.Hungary aside, the season ended with Lawson just ninth in the points in a year dominated by the revolutionary Big Bang' Honda NSR, although it was Rainey who finally took the title after staging a remarkable comeback and taking full advantage of Doohans horrendous Assen injuries.Aside from his Hungary triumph, one of the most enduring images of Lawson in 92 was of the single minded Eddie riding along during practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix at Sau Paulo, having decided to venture out despite every other rider claiming the circuit was too dangerous.1993 to 1996 - Daytona 200 then IndyCarAfter leaving the GP scene, Lawson made two 'one-off' motorcycle returns, both at the AMA SBK season opening Daytona 200 - claiming his second Daytona victory in 1993 [he also won in 1986] and a took a third place on his final appearance in 94.Eddie then moved on to yet another challenge, this time outside motorcycle racing, by pursuing a career in American single-seater racing, rising swiftly through the ranks to reach the pinnacle of the IndyCar series, in 1996, with the underfunded Mercedes powered Galles Racing team.Lawson scored points in 4 of the 11 rounds, with a best finish of sixth a feat he achieved twice, at locations as diverse as the US 500 [held on the daunting 2.5mile Michigan Super Speedway] and then again on the Detroit road circuit, racing against the likes of Al Unser Jr., Michael Andretti, Gil de Ferran, Jimmy Vasser, Alex Zanardi and Emerson Fittipaldi.However, when funding for the Galles team dried up at the end of the year, Eddie decided to retire from motorsport completely, at the age of 40.Lawson life has now gone full circle and he can often be found racing his old friend Rainey once again, but now its purely for fun and instead of the merciless 500cc two-strokes, its high performance Karts that are under Steady Eddies command.Eddie Lawson Main MotoGP achievements: Crash.net looks back at the winter of 1988-89, when Eddie Lawson's move to Honda kicked off MotoGP's craziest off-season.
