The GT300 Driver of the Year Award for 2016 is awarded to the most outstanding driver in a category that has steadily, and now explosively, become one of if not the most competitive classes in top-level professional sports car racing anywhere in the world.
Every year, the standard of competition in the GT300 continues to rise beyond expectations, thanks to the JAF-GT versus FIA GT3 war, the multi-tiered tyre war between Yokohama, Dunlop and Bridgestone, and the incredible mixture of all-pro, pro-am, and true-am talents that give the GT300 class a unique character all to itself.
Over 70 drivers took part in a GT300 class race in 2017. Trimming a shortlist of seven finalists out of that roster is a very daunting task.
