the other one is LMP, so i assume this is GT?
Terry Borcheller for ALMS. He has shown how quick he can be in the Saleen. He made up over 10 seconds to the Vettes in the final few minutes of the race at Mosport. Still a question why he isnt as quick in Grand-Am though.. it cant be all just the car.. Marc Lieb for LMES. Winning three races in the LMES with the "old lady". Now that takes talent and determination. Xavier Pompidou also would be a good canidate, since its not just one driver that got the "old lady" to victory lane three times this year! |

for GT driver, I would personally say Xavier Pompidou mainly due to the fact that he could go straight from going sideways into a tree to winning at the next LMES race.

For me its Michael Bartels, the guy has huge talent and hes shown that this year IMO by winning the Spa 24 hours against the odds.

i would really disagree with Bartels. It was more of Schieder and Van de Poele who lead the trio to victory at Spa. Bartels is a above-average driver for sure, but hes not a total star. Drivers like Pedro Lamy, JM-Gounon or Uwe Alzen are much faster than Bartels. But i can understand it if he is a personal favorite to you.

Mike Rockenfeller sure made impression on me this year, I like his driving and on top of that he`s a very nice chap, very approachable.

I think Gavin-Beretta are outstanding, Rockenfeller is also quick whatever the race whatever continent.

Ever or current?
Nishy and Jamie Campbell-Walter continue to impress. JJ Lehto, probably best driver i've seen anywhere in any formula. Also have a soft spot for Mimmo Schiatterella, who always seems to cop for the tough breaks no matter how well he drives. |

All the Porsche lads are good, but they're all a bit bland ;P
Ron Fellows I have a massive amount of respect for - cut him in half and he's got GM stamped right through him, he's been a part of that setup so long! - but at the moment my favourite has to be Brabs - absolute pro, fiendishly quick, doesn't take unnecessary risks, strong as an ox, and a really nice bloke too. |

To pick and absolute favourite is difficult having been at Sebring (ALMS), Spa (LMES), Silverstone (LMES) and spending a lot of time in the pit lane and around 500 mm (we had motor homes next door to each other in the paddock Sebring). I got to meet drivers before, during and after racing and they are all great guys and girls, they are often very different from when you catch them in a pit lane between sessions or relaxing over coffee at breakfast. I remember having Breakfast with 500MM in Vanessa’s hospitality at Sebring and Allan McNish coming and joining us after finding a Bamber cartoon of him crashing into 500mm’s motor home and giving 500mm some stick! I think my answer is I don’t have a favourite, I’m just happy being part of it!
