2000 ANTHONY DAVIDSON

Ryan Dalziel, Matt Gilmore, Derek Hayes, Robbie Kerr, Mark Taylor

OTHER FINALISTS He says: “Winning the Mclaren Autosport BRDC Award is a special moment. It marks you as a driver to look out for in the future, and also helps to highlight your current achievements. I’ll never forget nervously stepping onto the stage to become the 12th person to win it with what felt like the world of motorsport looking on.

“Prior to that moment, all of the finalists had to endure a rigorous series of tests with an experienced panel of judges looking into every detail both on and off the track. After being one of the judges a few years on it made me realise what a responsibility it is from their side too!

“I certainly hold this achievement in high regard. The trophy still proudly sits on the top shelf along with only a select few, because without it I’m not sure the others would be there at all.” WHAT HAPPENED NEXT Got to F1, but didn’t get his hands on frontrunning machinery. Forged a sportscar career, becoming 2014 World Endurance champion
