Bram Hengeveld · Nov 28, 2011

I am nominating Jenson Button (Formula 1). Outpaced his team mate the entire season and again proves that he is more talented that he got credits for when he became world champion in 2009.

Marco Sbordoni · Nov 28, 2011

..for sure we can't forget nomination for Marco Simoncelli (MotoGP)

Robert Wiesenmüller · Nov 28, 2011

I am nominating Game Stock Car.

Emanuel Gaczella · Nov 28, 2011

I must nominate Sebastian Vettel for his outstanding job this season!

Florian Goubaud · Nov 28, 2011

I am nominating Sebastien Loeb for his 8th world champion title.

David Carter · Nov 28, 2011

A bit of a suprise name to many im sure but Martin Tomczyk (DTM). Im aware that 2010 DTM champion Paul Di Resta (who would had been my 2nd choice) went to F1. But to win the championship comfortably in a 2008 spec car when the top drivers was in 2009 spec cars is surely a big achievement.

Florian Goubaud · Nov 28, 2011

I am nominating F1 2011, the only racing game I bought this year.

Victor Ivanov · Nov 28, 2011

Even if I'm not his fan I'll nominate Sebastian Vettel because he did amazing job this year.

HyEnd · Nov 28, 2011

Tony Stewart did an outstanding job in this years NSCS - especially in the chase winning 5 out of 10 races.

Second idea: Dan Wheldon for his last victory in Indianapolis.

HyEnd · Nov 28, 2011

yep, F1 2011 was awesome, it made nearly everything better than in 2010.

Micha Rahimi · Nov 28, 2011

F1 2011 no doubt.

Micha Rahimi · Nov 28, 2011

Jenson Button . But my heart goes with Marco Simoncelli R.I.P

Chris Bell · Nov 28, 2011
