Both of them are brilliant. Which of them is the best? Hard to say. They come from very different backgrounds and starting points in motorsport. For my money (and I did work briefly with both) I'd vote for Rory, only because he had so much success before F1. His Formula Ford Royales were exceptional and his Toleman F2 cars equally successful. He was also a mean (county-standard) spin bowler, drank strange Tuborg beer and is/was so low-profile as be virtually invisible on the "who's who" radar. Top bloke.
