National Competition Driver of the Year (retired)

How it was awarded

Like many of the other annual trophies, the National Competition Driver has had several methods for determining the winner over the years.

Most recently, this trophy, and the George Gunther Memorial, were awarded based on the votes of a selection committee.

The selection committee consisted of the last three winners* of the national trophy, the last three winners* of the Gunther Memorial Trophy, and a race worker appointed by the Regional Executive.

History of the Trophy
