AUTOSPORT's sportscar expert GARY WATKINS picks the cream of 2013's worldwide GT crop from across the WEC, ALMS, FIA GT, Blancpain and beyond

Picking the world's best GT driver is an onerous task, not least because there are so many to choose from. How do you compare a Blancpain Endurance Series racer to someone who plies his trade in the American Le Mans Series? With great difficulty is the answer.

Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 33rd as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 80 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.

Gary, who also writes for Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton close to the former workshops of the Cooper Formula 1 team but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.
