No, sorry Paul.
I'm not particularly "obscure" - am quite sure most of you have heard of me.

I travelled alot and met many strange creatures. My adventures (as far as Western culture goes) are included in a well known book of tales. However, Arabic writings of the time and some modern Arab scholars think of them as separate.
Some people, especially in Iran/Iraq, feel that my folklore was partially based on a real person who was actively travelling to far-away countries starting in about 780 AD. A foreign movie was made in 2011 about this real person.

Are you famous for exploration, i.e. Thor Heyerdal?

No, nothing to do with racing.
My career began in 1919.
