Being an Aussie I can be a little less biased
The best UK driver would have to be between Spashett and Drescher.
David is a 3 time world 1/12th champ, plus he also has a Pro-10 world to his name!
He's made 2 A-Main appearances in the TC world's plus he's been Euro 1/12th champ at least 8 times and TC Euro champ twice.
Now Craig, whilst never winning a Worlds has a stack of titles, mainly in off-road.
He's made at least 5 A-Mains at the Off-road Worlds, won the 2wd off-road Euro's 7 times and the 4wd title 4 times.
In on-road he's made 2 A-Mains at the TC worlds, at least 3 A-Mains at the TC Euro's, and even made the 1/12 Worlds A-Main twice!
I think both of these guys are head and shoulders above the rest, though I believe that Neil Cragg will rank up there with them by the time his career is over
