He competed in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing world championships from to.

A four-time FIM 500cc road racing world champion, Lawson is prominent for being the first MotoGP competitor to win back-to-back 500cc world championships on machines from two different manufacturers.

His record of not crashing and consistently finishing in the points earned him the nickname "Steady Eddie".

1969

Points system from 1969 to 1987:

1979

In 1979, Lawson finished the season second behind Freddie Spencer in the AMA 250cc road racing National Championship.

1980

He also won the AMA 250cc road racing National Championship in 1980 and 1981 for Kawasaki.

1981

Afterwards, he was offered a ride with the Kawasaki Superbike team and won the AMA Superbike Series in 1981 and 1982.

1983

Lawson accepted an offer from Yamaha to contest the 500cc World Championship as Kenny Roberts' teammate for the 1983 season.

Lawson spent the 1983 season learning the ropes of the Grand Prix circuit.

Lawson also won the ABC Superbikers event at Carlsbad Calif. in 1983 and 1985 which pitted the best riders from several disciplines against each other on a combined dirt and paved course.

He was riding a specially equipped factory YZ 490 Yamaha.

1984

In 1984, Lawson began winning regularly and won the 1984 World Championship.

It would mark the first of four world titles Lawson would go on to win.

1985

In 1985, he won the prestigious Imola 200 pre-season race.

1986

Lawson began the 1986 season by winning the Daytona 200 in a dominating manner to give Yamaha their first AMA Superbike victory.

He took an easy victory in his qualifying heat race and then won the pole position with a track record.

After he disposed of early challengers Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz, Lawson won with a race time of one hour, 54 minutes, 49.656 seconds at an average of 106.030 mph, shattering the record for the Daytona 200 set the year before by Freddie Spencer by over three minutes.

After winning two more 500cc world championships for Yamaha in 1986 and 1988, Lawson shocked the racing world by announcing he would be leaving Yamaha to sign with their arch-rivals Rothmans Honda as teammate to his own archrival, Australia's 1987 World Champion Wayne Gardner.

By switching teams, Lawson also fulfilled his desire to work with Erv Kanemoto.

1989

After Gardner crashed and broke his leg during the third round at Laguna Seca, Lawson went on to win the 1989 title for Honda, becoming the first rider to win back-to-back championships on machines from different manufacturers before Valentino Rossi did so in 2004 (moved from Honda to Yamaha).

1990

In 1990, Lawson won the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race on a Yamaha FZR750R paired with teammate Tadahiko Taira.

When he retired from Grand Prix racing in the early 1990s, he ranked third on the all-time MotoGP class (then known as 500GP) Grand Prix wins list with 31.

1991

Lawson then switched to Cagiva in 1991 and the following year he achieved his last victory (that was also the first win for Cagiva after 10 years of racing).

In so doing, he joined a very restricted number of great riders who managed to win races in top class with three different manufacturers, the others being Mike Hailwood (British Norton, MV Agusta, Honda), Randy Mamola (Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha) and Loris Capirossi (Yamaha, Honda, Ducati) and definitively silenced the critics who believed he would not be as successful away from the factory Marlboro Yamaha team.

1993

Lawson came out of retirement to win his second Daytona 200 in 1993.

After finishing his motorcycle career, Lawson pursued a career in open-wheel single seater racing in the United States competing in the Indy Lights series and eventually to CART.

1996

In the 1996 IndyCar season, he competed in 11 races with his best results being two sixth-place finishes at U.S. 500 and the Detroit Indy Grand Prix.

His passion for speed remains undiminished and the former World Champion now enjoys driving 250cc Superkarts often accompanied by his great friend and rival Wayne Rainey, who races in a specially modified Superkart to cope with his spinal injuries, and historic Formula One cars, with a Walter Wolf Racing WR4 at vintage events.

2001

Furthermore, he was the fourth satellite rider to win the premier class world title before Valentino Rossi did so in 2001, 12 years later.

2005

Lawson was inducted into the MotoGP Legends Hall of Fame in 2005.

After his motorcycle career, Lawson pursued a brief career in open-wheel single seater racing in the United States competing in the Indy Lights series and eventually to the CART racing series.

Born in Upland, California, Lawson began his motorcycle racing career in the Southern California dirt track circuit.

When it became increasingly difficult to find machinery able to compete with the dominant Harley-Davidsons, he switched his attention to road racing.
