I'm pretty sure that his name is spelt as Kieth Odor - I followed his career in the early nineties in Autosport magazine and that's how I remember it - notably because it wasn't spelt "Keith". Unfortunately the Autosports are now all long pulped so I can't confirm it.
Anyone else able to say for sure?

I'm pretty sure you are correct in saying it was spelt Kieth, when I first saw the spelling many years ago I thought it was an error but it has repeatedly been spelt that way. I possibly still have some magazines from that time to absolutely confirm but it would take me a while to access them as they are in a storage facility.
It is worth noting that most of the online references, particularly from authoritative sources are to this spelling form. M100 12:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

- It's absolutely, certainly "Kieth" rather than "Keith". Also, while it may be technically correct that his family name was written Ódor, neither he nor his father were *ever* referred to as such in the press - it was always spelled Odor or O'Dor. Even in his final season in Germany, he had O'Dor on his car window. His dad never called himself Janós either - it was always Jan Odor (no accents), and his racing team was called Janspeed. Isn't Wikipedia supposed to use the most common spelling rather than one which is (possibly) technically correct? 81.104.160.179 10:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
