My What?
Been pondering this idea for awhile now, basically you'll make a top 10 list for each category listed below, at this time, two weeks from now, I'll go through the thread and make note of what people posted and then I'll make a results thread showing the the Top 10 winners for each respective category.

Rules:
- Please only vote 10 items for each catergory. They do not have to be in order
- Any form of (car) motorsport is allowed, as long as it fits the appropriate category
- No arguing over people's choices
-The Stig does not count as a professional driver, Ben Collins does however
-Cars voted must actually be real cars(No Redbull X1, concepts, etc)
-Cars voted must not be street cars, only pure race cars
-Drivers from any time period can be voted, no matter if they're alive or not
- Cars voted do not have to be in GT5/FM4/Shift 2 etc
