Today we picked the ten best British racing drivers for 2008 with Lewis Hamilton at the top of the list.
Who did you think was the best British racing driver this year?
Other top picks include three-times World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx and British Touring Car Championship runner-up Jason Plato.

I personally believe that I, Jason Plato, deserve to be Number 2 on this list, with Priaulx No.1 and that rookie Hamilton trailing in my wake.
He stepped into the best car in the field, and botched a title challenge by parking in some gravel. Meanwhile, I drove the pants off a slow Spanish family car, also coming close to winning the title, but I missed out due to a combination of no straight line speed, and having set myself on fire a couple of days before the final round.
You all seem to be forgetting the “main man” Allan Mcnish, another Scottish great.
well spotted big A dario was stunning this year , also worth a mention as a racer not in cars but james toseland again winning the world suprebike championship was a stunning result.

You got me. That was a blunder. For winning the Indy 500 and Indy Racing League series Dario Franchitti definitely deserves to be in the top ten, in fact the top three.
But I didn’t deliberately ignore Scottish drivers – di Resta and Coulthard are both in there.
Joke of a report. Name me the driver who won the biggest race in the racing calander – Dario Franchitti. If your going to publish garbage like the above, please ensure you include all British drivers and that includes scottish drivers
