The top 10 GT drivers of 2014

Picking the top 10 drivers across so many GT championships is a difficult task, although choosing number one was easy, says GARY WATKINS

Putting the standout driver of the season at the top of the list is easy. Trying to formulate a top 10 of the world's best GT drivers based on performances across series all around the world is much more difficult and ultimately subjective.

It is made doubly hard by the efforts of the rules-makers and series promoters to level the playing field between different types of car. That's why the Tudor United SportsCar Championship is under-represented here — how can judgements be made against the backdrop of rules tinkering that rendered various cars uncompetitive?

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.
