To select our top 10, we looked at how well the drivers got on at Le Mans, the circumstances of their failures, and the amount of success scored elsewhere.

That means the Briton pushes two-time Le Mans runner-up Thierry Boutsen – who came close in Peugeot, Porsche and Toyota machinery – into our honorary 11th spot.
