Default Best all round RC driver ?

Who is the best UK all round rc racer? It would be nice to see a 4way championship !!!
Based on the most popular classes;

8th buggy nitro
10th electric buggy
10th touring car
12th scale LMP

Personally I reckon a nitro 8th buggy racer would top the list

Probably Boots would be my choice (as he was awesome at the 8th Worlds last year).
Otherwise Lee Martin and Neil Cragg all up there as well.

thats it, if we are looking for someone in the UK who can put a super strong drive in 10th,8th,TC and 12th he's the only one with A's and wins in every one

I know he isn't British but I one watched Jorn Neumann racing a Durango dex210 at ardent raceway some years ago. He was either on 2 wheels or in the air and lapped the 2nd place driver Hupo Honigl at least once. I have never seen driving like it. He landed the car on the tabletop after the big jump on pretty much 2 wheels lap after lap. Totally amazing to watch. Craig Drescher was always my childhood hero but these days Neil Craig and Lee Martin must be the top British drivers for me.

Would have to be david spashett, won 8th on road, tc, pan cars and many others just even in his more mature years took the 12th scale uk title.. Followed by dresher and jamie booth.both done on qnd off road disiplines, Not many of the recent top off roaders have done on road.

Non uk to me would be mark rienhard?
