Autosport Top 50 drivers 2014 - Page 2

Reading their top 10 list of GT drivers, no surprise that Gimmi Bruni was no.1. Toni Vilander was at the opposite end of the list at no.9

The Kes being 5th was their "points ranking" based on results.

disagree, is true that lotterer shown better performance than his buddy treluyer; but jani has never been clearly better than lieb in #14, so buemi has never been clearly better than davidson in #8. IMHO.

Buemi was very good, and when it comes to pure speed he was equal to Davidson, but Davidson was almost faultless and is a bit better in traffic IMHO. Both were better then Lotterer this year. But if it comes down to pure speed i think Nakajima edges them both slightly. It would be really fun if he is moved to the #8, then this crew will be even better than the #2 Audi, and they are nearly perfect.

Agree, nakajima this year was the quickest among toyota drivers. Problem is that in #7 there was a super nakajima only part time but the slow wurz-sarrazin duo full season... #8 is more balanced, with two great drivers, quick and reliable.
I still think that Lotterer is the best sportscars driver, just look his laptimes at le mans with a fixed and hybridless car...

Yeah but he was off the pace in Spa against Duval, spun in Brazil (and Di Grassi was quicker then him in that race), and again Duval had a better opening stint than him in Fuji. And if we have to vote for the stint of the season it would have to be Buemi's stint at COTA despite the spin it was as if he was driving a higher class car compared to the competition. More than a second per lap over everyone else.
