When it comes to picking the world's top prototype drivers there's no need to look beyond the World Endurance Championship.
There can be no apologies for the fact that this list is made up entirely of LMP1 factory drivers racing in the WEC — if it wasn't, there would surely be something wrong.
The expansion of the P1 field with the arrival of Porsche explains why the United Sportscar Championship, the European Le Mans Series and even the LMP2 division of the WEC are not represented here.
