In no real order - and driven very much by whim...
McNish - for fairly obvious reasons, but if nothing else PLM 2008
Kristensen - for being unbeatable at Le Mans
Collard - fantastic all rounder
Bouillon - Consistently solid and reliable - and jaw dropping at Silverstone 2009
Minassian - for heroics in a Creation and blinding speed in a Peugeot
Brabham - for consistent solidity and coming into his own in 2009
Shimoda - for staggering races like Nurburgring 2005 and the Laguna Seca win - only wish there'd been more
Leitzinger - for being the cornerstone of Dyson through the decade, not forgetting his Bentley work
Dumas - for his part of the RS Spyder campaign as well as quality appearances in Europe
Capello - for being the oft forgotten backstop in the most successful line up of the decade.
Any list like this is always arbitrary and unfair, but if nothing else the thought process of coming up with them does work in terms of actually thinking about the decade - it's been one hell of a ride, Let's hope the one to come lives up to it.
