Masami has to be #1 worldwide for all the reasons mentioned. I was just a very young lad starting out in the best hobby in the world when I went down to Romsey to watch the world champs .... Masami with the RC10 left a lasting impression .... with the CAT he became an instant icon to all that watched that day!!!!
In the UK I'd say it's 50/50 Jamie Booth and Chris Doughty. Both of them have raced all sorts, had good times and bad but both have also always helped me, and every other person who popped over to say hi, out in terms of advice, that vital part to continue the day and even just a kind word when things are getting people down. True gents them both.
Then there are Neil & Mick Cragg ...... oh hell, it's hard to choose isn't it!!!
