Watching the Australian Grand Prix and having a browse of Jack Brabham's autobiography got me thinking about who are the best drivers from Australasia both currently and in the past.
I'd be interested to hear the views of others. I thought any list should be Australasian since so many Kiwi drivers have high profiles in Australia. And I thought the current drivers list should include non residents like Mark Webber. I've excluded rally drivers, speedway drivers, motorcycle racers and drag racers and just thought about circuit racers. Otherwise, Mick Doohan, Possum Borne, Gary Rush and Victor Bray would have to rate highly and a top 10 list of circuit racers is hard enough. Both lists would be totally subjective of course, since some of us will hate certain drivers and not rate them.

My list for the top 10 Australasian drivers of all time would be
1. Jack Brabham
2. Alan Jones
3. Bruce McLaren
4. Denis Hulme
5. Peter Brock
6. Alan Moffat
7. Mark Webber
8. Bob Jane
9. Jim Richards
10. Larry Perkins.

My list for the top 10 current Australasian drivers would be
1. Mark Webber
2. Scott Dixon
3. Marcus Ambrose
4. Craig Lowndes
5. Ryan Briscoe
6. James Courtney
7. Greg Murphy
8. Mark Skaife
9. David Brabham
10. Jim Richards.
