In a season that featured 17 different race winners, picking out the cream of the British Touring Car Championship crop is harder than ever - which is why Autosport has handed over responsibility to the drivers.
We have exclusively polled each BTCC driver and have collated the results of the 25 who responded to work out who was the drivers' driver of the year for 2018.
The results make for interesting reading: it is clear to see whose performances have earned the respect of their on-track rivals.
