For mine, Daniel Erickson was this year's standout driver in British Formula Ford.
In the British Championship he was the highest placed (5th) driver who'd never raced before on any of the circuits. He won one race, scored several podiums, set three pole positions and one fastest race lap, all with a second-string team that lucked into being the only one using the first-rate Australian Spectrum chassis.
He had a shoe-string budget that restricted his test days to a fraction of the number of some of his competitors'.
His ability to score respectable results after qualifying or race setbacks - never more so than at the Festival, when he set the fastest lap in the second semi-final - was extraordinary.
Daniel's awesome car control is evident in the videos of this season's championship.
I can't wait to see him strut his stuff next year in a higher category.
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Findlay wasn't the best.
KMR worked as hard as usual.
Hill disappointing.
James and his gang still the best team.
2011 regulations as I understand it, could mean 2010 as being the last good year.
